Acres of fun |
Alma Road Plymouth, Devon PL2 3DG United Kingdom |
This huge park is a great place for picnics, having many secluded spots bordered by hedges. The three children's play parks offer fun for all young children and there is a small skate ramp near the Alma Road entrance. There are numerous football pitches and also an extensive putting green where clubs can be hired, or you can bring your own. It's an excellent place for walking dogs and has lots of designated dog bins. The park also offers an adult size keep-fit trail with many pieces of apparatus all round the park. Together with Plymouth's largest diving pool, swimming pool and a sports complex, it's a great place to relax and play, whatever your age. Review © 2007, Wcities |
