👍👍 Frying Pan Farm Park has lots to do! You can go on walks here, or a run if you fancy that. There are lots of animals to see; ducks, sheep, peacocks, cows, horses, lambs. The pigpen is nicknamed "Hogwarts". The farm hours are from 9am to 5pm. Some of the horses are massive! It's a great place to tak...

Family-friendly green space with a playground, swimming pool, carousel & picnic area.

👍👍 After two years, all the construction is finally completed. The swings on the north side of the creek are back, and the new circuit training exercise section is right beside the swings.
