Family tips
Plan for the wide open spaces
The park is large with plenty of open space. Bring a backpack or use your buggy to carry essentials, and consider staying in one area rather than exploring everything in one visit.
Playground
Playground suits mixed ages well
The playground (ages 2-12) includes a zip wire alongside toddler-friendly equipment, so families with children of different ages can visit together.
Buggy
Buggies work well on park paths
Flat paths throughout the park make buggy navigation straightforward. This is ideal for families with babies or younger toddlers who need regular breaks.
