“Very safe fenced public playground, especially for children under 10 years old due to the height of the equipments! The impact absorbing surface with wood chips is well maintained. The space between the equipments is very appropriated, the little swings with colorful flowers are not to be missed as the inclusive swing that is in very good condition. There are metal harp, colourful tables, monkey bars and the surrounding area with trees and an artificial lake makes this playground a quite plaesant area.”

“We had our end of season Hockey at Laserforce, and had 2 hours unlimited lasertag. It was amazing, the kids and adults all loved it. It's such a big space with an upstairs and downstairs. Everything is explained well and the staff are great. We were able to bring in outside foods and had Pizza Hut delivered from just around the road and brought in other drinks and foods. All and all I recommend this for a kids party or team building activity.”

WIDE selection of sake and mixed drinks imported from Japan. Good prices too.”
