A fair sized park with five different bits of play kit. It's a bit of an odd shape and has a long section which is surrounded by Turkey oak's which is nice. There is only one entrance and the entire play area is fenced in. There is one bin near the entrance, however, there are no benches or seats which is a bit of a nuisance. Within the park there are no trees but around the edges there are the typical common hedgerow classics such as Common hawthorn and Elder. There is quite a bit of English elm and many Turkey oak trees.
