A nice park for little ones. Open grass for older kids to kivk a ball. Toilets are available but dirty. Mall is at a walking distance. Bbq benches and bbq stoves. Overall, its a good place for an outing.

Very well kept and well lit at night. Great place for a walk, lots of open space and good playground. All kept clean and neat. Safe place to relax easily accessible from the shopping centre. Dogs need to be kept on a lead.
