"A massive park, great for a walk!
Be sure to head to the back field, as there are lovely walk trails through the woods!
When it snows, this place is out of this world!!!!!!
It literally feels like you are lost in the middle of nowhere! I wish that I could do one more lap of the park.
Great park for the kids to play on, plenty of goal posts to have a kick around also ๐"

"Skirting the gleblands is the river usk. There's plenty of parking and a large grassed area with a few trees and benches. A trail path runs along side the river. St Julians comp is sited there too, tennis courts, , St Julian club, outside drinking fountain.
Spliting the site is the m4 but don't let this put you off as it's not that bad. I think it adds to the character. As you pass from one side to the other through a massive underpass you are in another green area that contains multiple rugby and football pitches.
There's are many that walk there dogs, go jogging or just chill thereโ
but there's plenty of room and never issues. The site contains children's play areas. Swings, slides ect"
