[2] It contains basketball and tennis courts, an orchard, an amphitheatre, playgrounds, a skateboard park, events space and copses.
It had an on-site parkkeeper prior to funding for the role being withdrawn in October 2017 due to a drop of funding from the UK central government as a result of austerity policies.

Construction began on 25 November 2019 and it was opened to the public during the August 2020.
