A fine example of a Victorian neighbourhood park, this is a perfect spot to relax among shady trees and open grassy areas. The playground is dog-free and has a sandpit, swings for toddlers, climbing frames, a slide, balancing rails and more. Additionally there is a paddling pool for children, which is opened from May bank holiday till early September. During the hotter months there is a mobile café and picnic tables.
During World War 2 a bomber plane crashed into one of the pine trees (a European Black Pine). The damage to this tree, which stands on one side of the entrance to the park opposite the end of Norfolk Avenue, can still be seen today and is lower than the rooftops.
