There is always something going on here, great space with gardens to explore, being the young ones for a picnic and loads of space to run around play hide and seek. Well attended events even when the event is not of good quality, folks want to experience some outdoor fun, wish they had better planned events, mostly underwhelming in my humble opinion, I've seen much better events arranged all over the globe. Lots a nice scenery, a nice place for a walk, safe for kids and all alike. bring the old folks down ,easy to move around for a wheelchair. Lots a benches for a meal, there is a coffee shop next to the small pond. Very busy, make good coffee a s Cake
