"A very nice park for a walk, and perfect for dog owners. There’s a designated dog area where dogs can be unleashed — it’s open and not fenced, but safely isolated from the main paths. They also have a water source for dogs nearby, which is a thoughtful touch."

"Another hidden gem not far from the city! Loads of trails and a nice cafe to stop for a coffee and yes moist and delicious carrot cake which sometimes shows up on the menu at John & June’s cafe!😋😋
PS - the park is a Popular spot for dog walks! So just watch out for the dog poop on the trails which luckily only a handful of the owners of the furry friends forget to pick-up☹️☹️
