The Dings Park

Very near to where I live this is a very small park, but it offers some brilliant facillities to keep children both young and old amused. There is a playing area with climbing frames, slides, those funky animals on those massive industrial springs. The floor is soft so can protect against any awkward landings.
There is also an enclosed Basketball court that is in imaculate condition, and could probably be used more often than it does. There is a small grass area that has served as a place to put up some marquees for Ding’s village meet ups and activities.
The size does limit it though, the boys don’t really have any space to play football, and it is not big enough to jog around, you could probably cover the whole area in 1 minute.

The Dings, described by plaques at each end of the streets as:
«The Dings — Our Village in the City»
Seems to live up to that description. The road itself isn’t a direct through road so you don’t get much traffic coming through, and although it backs onto the trainline you don’t get much noise as trees and a bank block the track and the road.
The Park itself is very small, but has a good selection of rides for young children, and a brillinat enclosed basketball court that is kept in fantastic condition. It’s good to see an enclosed court like this for free public use, it doesn’t seem to happen very often. It’s great to walk past and see so many people taking advantage of it.
Not worth a trip if you live far away, but if your walking distance worth having a little look.
