Liked:- New park (couple of months)
Disliked:- No established trees. Ventilation in the amenities is poor, however, the manager says that is being looked into. He is asking people for suggestions for improvements. Some have asked for a caddy in the showers to hold small items, that is also being investigated. I pointed out the lack of towel rings or rails at the hand basins and that is now under consideration.

The park was nicely grassed, the power heads were old and a few did not work. This would have been a nice park but is let down by the amenities. They are old and not very appealing. They give the impression of not being cleaned although I observed the owner cleaning them. The owner comes each evening to check on the park and collect the rent.
