Samantha Dockerill4 years ago I love this park. I take my 19 month old son to it quite regularly since it has been refurbished. He adores the smaller climbing frame and slide and the roundabout. My only negatives about this park are that, when its a hot sunny day the smaller slide is south facing so gets the full brunt of the sun which means by as early as 10am it is too hot to use. Therefore this might be a design consideration for other parks?Also, because he is on the smaller side, he cannot climb up the wall where the rock climbing foot holds and handle bars are, which means I have to stand on the climbing frame with him the whole time so that I can help him up that bit every time. Might be better to have a step so that smaller children can get up it too? I ended up helping another child with this same problem and she looked older than my boy, so I know its not just myself that has this problem.Otherwise we love it, thanks for investing.P.S Another benefit to this area would be some toilets too so you can stay longer to have a picnic on the grass after playing in the park.

Megg Black4 years ago Lovely park now it’s been refreshed! My 3 yr old can manage most of the equipment and especially enjoyed the accessible roundabout and basket swing. One small complaint would be that where the swings are between the 2 climbing frames, many toddlers nearly got knocked out by a swing going from one section to the other in the short time we were there. Would have been more sensible to put the swings at one end to avoid this.Also a couple more picnic tables wouldn’t go amiss here but apart from that it’s a very good space.

Tyler Howells4 years ago Me and the children love this play area, we don’t go often as it’s a little bit out the way, but if we are in the area (seeing family) we will tend to head down here. We love the whole refurb, but probably my daughters favourite would have to be climbing unit, she will be up and down there for hours. Also my little one loves the swings, any park with toddler swings is perfect for him! As I have said previously in other comments, there needs to be more seating. On a hot day it’s not so bad you can just sit on the grass, but if its not then there is no where for me to park up pram and put down baby stuff. My daughter has certainly made a few friends at this park, and it makes going to see her uncle all the more fun knowing we will visit this park. So it’s definitely had a positive impact on my family.I’d love to see these kind of parks recreated in the havant area as they are all very run down and in need of work. Seating is the main issue for me! Other than that Me and the whole family are loving the refurbished parks. Also my daughter loves zip lines!

Racheal Laundy4 years ago This park is excellent since the refurbishment, a good size play area with a variety of equipment, all of which are fantastic. The only thing that let's this park down is the youth that ruin it, such a shame they feel the need to do this. But the park itself is fab! I do think this play area is mainly aimed at younger children which right now suits me perfectly but not much for the older age group!

Alice Laycock4 years ago I have only been to this park years ago when I was a child and it was always very run down and often vandalised/ messy. This is why I have avoided it with my own children, however now it has been refreshed, I will visit with my boys. I have heard good things about it from other parents. The list of new equipment sounds like a good variety and something that would appeal to my boys. I wonder if there is very much parking available and also whether there are enough benches/ seating which would make it picnic friendly?
