This large park has many facilities for children under 16 years old, and adults may enter only if accompanied by a child. Although the site is primarily aimed at providing sports facilities for children, it has several features that ensure visiting children and parents have plenty of opportunity for contact with nature. To the east an area is being developed as a wildlife garden, helped by children and parents. The site boasts a city farm as well as many other features and facilities and is very popular with local children.
