Considering how small the park is it is well maintained. A good local park option. Multiple benches and bins dotted throughout. Two playgrounds for different ages. The playgrounds themselves don't look like they've been painted or updated recently.

This is a pretty good playground, it’s divided into two areas, but they’re connected to each other by the entrance. One areas for toddlers and the other for older children. The toddler area has a toy car that children can sit in, which is always popular. Both areas have slides and swings. There’s another area separate to the playground which has a road layout painted onto it, which is nice for children to scoot around. The library gardens that the playground’s in are also pleasant. Not really big enough to be a park, but still a nice amount of space. There’s hedges all around the gardens so it feels safe from the roads around it. It’s handy that Whitchurch Hub’s nearby, as when it’s open you can combine a trip to the library with the playground. There’s coffee shops nearby too. Parking around here isn’t great, it’s probably better to use the car park off Penlline Road and walk here.

Very pretty place and lots of room
