Why go?

Nature, play, and space to roam

The Groynes is a sprawling outdoor escape on the edge of the city, where families can explore nature, play at one of three playgrounds, enjoy a lakeside picnic, or hire boats for a peaceful ride on the water. Whether you’re after an adventure or a quiet moment surrounded by nature, there’s something here for everyone.

Good to know

Before you go.

Dogs only in designated areas

Dogs are not permitted in the main park area, but there is a designated dog park within The Groynes for off-lead play.

Finding the toilets

Toilets are located near each of the three playgrounds, so facilities are always close by.

Worth finding

There are three playgrounds scattered throughout the park, each with its own character and set of activities.
