This park is a bit of a jack of all trades in the fact that so much is there for such a variety of people. As, it isn’t that well known it is only really busy in the best of summer days which in my opinion lets it down a bit. The playground area is one of the best around with tonnes of things to keep the kids busy for atleast a couple of hours. The park itself is kept well and surrounded by trees which encloses it slightly. This place is perfect if you want to get out of the office and have a bit of lunch and get into the sunshine which I have done on numerous occasions in the past. The tennis courts offer those who can’t stay still, a chance to burn off all that energy.

Blaker’s Park is a smaller local park wedged between Preston Drove on the south end and Stanford Avenue at the north end. It is much more compact park than Preston Park down the road and works perfectly for families and young kids. The whole park is on a slope which makes it a little more difficult for portable barbecues but great for rolling down the hill! As you walk down the grassy slope from Stanford Avenue you reach a lovely red brick clock tower and a small café stand(great coffee, GREAT cakes!) and two tennis courts in excellent condition(free before 10am). Next to the tennis courts is a small playground for young kids with a sandpit, slide and various climbing frames– as well as some picnic tables for parents. Grab a coffee and watch your kids burn off their energy!
