The lake in the center of this park is stunning and tranquil. I think there are more ducks here than in any other park, and they show no fear of humans. When you sit by the lake, they will come up to you. Maybe many people feed them, so they behave that way.
Nice local space, boasting a disc golf course, small playground, skate park and a pond surrounded by lovely trees and plants. Very family friendly.
Big facility, and the reception staff member was immediately helpful, breaking her conversation with workmates to address me, and help me to purchase goggles. Which I appreciated very much. The spa is cool, and all the pools are a degree too cold, showers included (personal preference) Because of the high usage the chlorine is strong and smells quite strong on the body after swimming. The staff and lifeguards were attentive, all standing, and quick to smile and chat. The outdoor pool is amazing, clean and there is a fun diving pool over 3m deep. Great on a hot day, but the day I visited a cold wind was blowing.
A beautiful park with plenty of parking available. We love watching the variety of ducks in the pond. The walkway are wheelchair accessible and well designed to enjoy all the scenic spots in the park. There are lots of activities for all ages.
Great pool and gym. 2 indoor pools, one for Aqua jogging and laps, the other for teaching, and laps. Separate toddler pool. Outdoor pool in summer. Spa is small and always busy. Gym is always very busy. Bookings essentials for classes
