On a sunny day this is a nice spot for a picnic. The grounds can get wet in the rain. A small workout areas with outdoor equipment devoid of weights, good for the elderly. Great for dogs too.

There is also a boat ramp. northern side of the park has tennis courts, walking tracks and nic eopen spaces for pets, can get damp.
