About this playground

Facilities

Somerset Park is a welcoming space for families, featuring a playground, tables, and grills, all set amidst greenery. While the park does have some bushes for privacy, there are usually no restrooms available, which may be a limitation for some visitors.

Equipment

The playground features slides, climbing structures, and play panels, making it ideal for younger children and toddlers. The equipment appears to be designed for children's play up to about 10 years old, encouraging physical activity and imaginative play.

Safety & Cleanliness

The park is generally well-maintained with prompt removal of graffiti. However, visitors should remain mindful of the occasional presence of inappropriate markings that may require oversight.

Amenities

While the park provides benches for adult supervision, it's unclear if these offer shade. There are no visible water fillers, drinking fountains, or water play areas. Visitors looking for charging points, food options, or nearby toilets may find these amenities lacking, although parking does appear to be adequate based on user comments.

Who It's For

The playground is mostly suited for younger children, particularly toddlers, but has equipment that is also suitable for children up to 10 years old. Families can enjoy the space together, although adults might want to bring their own supplies, like snacks and drinks, since food options are limited nearby.

What is Missing

Potential improvements could include the addition of restroom facilities, water points, and better shade coverage over seating areas. While the park accommodates play, it could further enhance visitor convenience with more amenities.
