Great park! Running its loop is a good 2.2 km. Don't forget to have a picnic on a sunny day!

Excellent spot for people watching - beautiful in the summers and close to town if you need to pick up snacks. Lots of recreational facilities here. Home to tightrope walkers on good weather days.

Great for an impromptu BBQ...just make sure you get the ones with legs so you don't scorch the grass.

Awesome place for a BBQ on a summer evening but make sure you have a stand, there's a man who yells if he thinks your burning 'his' grass!
