“This is a lovely park for the children.. plenty of green space to be able to sit for a picnic on a nice day. A section for people to toilet their dogs which is a brilliant idea. Also lots of play equipment for the children and plenty of the outdoor gym equipment too. Always very busy whenever I drive past but was reasonably quiet when I called with the children”
💬 What parents mention
Overview
St. Mary's Park packs a full day into one free site: toddler swings, climbing boards, dense rope activities, and slides for younger children alongside full-size football pitches, tennis courts, and basketball courts for older kids and adults. A designated dog toilet zone keeps the play areas clean. Ample green space suits picnics. Weekends draw large crowds; weekdays are markedly quieter.
