Lovrly park. Would be 5 stars if it wasn't 60p a throw for using the toilet! 20p is a much fairer price and imo would stop people letting each other in. When it's 60p you don't want to pay more than once so you let the next person in. If it was 20p i would always want to pay fair and square each time. Apart from that, a lovely park :)
