Photos show Shirley Park ‘understatedly gorgeous’ in sunlight

Shirley Park may very well be one of the most underrated downtown parks in the region. With a rugby pitch, tennis courts, football pitch, outdoor gym, skate park, huge children’s play area and many nooks and crannies to kick back and relax, it’s a real gem.

Served by a free car park behind Aldi (get a ticket from the machine), the park is full of things to do. Besides that, there are some very nice and picturesque corners that we enjoyed when we visited on a sunny day this week.

In this gallery, we’ll show you what we mean. The huge slide and play park we left out because there were kids having fun and we didn’t want to interrupt! You’ll have to take our word for it, or better yet, take your kids to see how much fun it is for you.
