The Paddling Pool
The paddling pool looked shallow and inviting when we arrived but unfortunately it had not yet opened for the day (it currently opens from 10am until 6pm).
Paddling Pool Restrictions
There are some restrictions on the use of the paddling pool – only children up to and including 8 years are allowed to use it before 5pm. The sign also says that children using the pool must be toilet trained. It did not say anything about children in swimming nappies.
Coffee Shop and Facilities
Next to it was a coffee shop that sells refreshments and has toilets. It opens during the weekends and school holidays.
Sports Facilities
There are lots of sports facilities including tennis courts (you can hire these at the cafe), table tennis, netball courts, cricket pitch, football pitches, a five-a-side football pitch, a kick about area, table tennis and multi-use ball courts.
