The model roads are great for little ones learning to cycle/scoot. For older ones there is a great BMX track and also skate bowl. There is a decent playground and a nice little volunteer run cafe. Kids activities and fitness classes are also often run from "The Hub". There is a nice little wooded area too.

So much to do - not only a beautiful view and park, but also boating lake, playground, half-pipe, theatre/event space and all year round ice-skating. Also look out for music and food events at the weekends.
