10 reviewsI was told to be careful of your dog jumping in and swimming opposite the car park as there are old broken trolleys submerged and a few dogs have died, apparently you can see them on low tide. Other than that it’s a lovely place to walk along the river with your dog.

Our doggies had a great time.
Rated 5 stars
Great place to bring the dogs for a run and swim on a sunny day. Bit of a mess after the floods I'm guessing but it makes one hell of a fun play area for doggos.
Great set up
