A curious little attraction just of the Hoe. Minigolf, trampolines, bumper rings and a couple of other activities with a nice pirate theme. All paid for with £1 tokens. There are also swings and slides next door, as well as a big field for games which often has a bouncy castle and a little train ride. Seasonal opening for the rides. If you are at the park and fancy an ice cream then the tiny cafe on Hoe road across from the train often has shorter queues then the ice cream van and is cheaper.

Ice rink and music venue. The ice rink has a variety of sessions including Ice Disco, Family Fun and Chilly Tots (where toddlers and under 8s can enjoy skating with sit on seals and cars and push along penguins). The ice rink is within a stones throw from a Toys R Us though so you may get requests to visit there too!
