Advantages: great for under 5s
Disadvantages: wasps wasps wasps
Nice rides for the under 5s, and plenty for the little ones to look at and play with, *but* a rampant wasp problem which they do little to try and control (and I mean thousands of the things flying around the park).
Open top or open sided bins everywhere (each with about 20 wasps flying in and out), 12 wasps flying round the indoor cafe. I was told they dump their rotting tree fruit at the boundary to try and keep the wasps away (a strategy that seemed really nuts to me). I was also told this is the case all through the summer. Four wasp nests exterminated that week alone. It doesn't sound like this was a one off issue.
Everyone was complaining about it. If your little ones are bothered by stings, don't risk it. Such a shame. The place would be great if they could solve this one issue.
Summary: bad bin strategy ruins a great place
