A good sports park works for both teams and casual visitors, with well-kept grounds, parking, toilets and shelter. Check the weekend fixture calendar before you go, since match days mean busy car parks and fields that are not free for casual play. Midweek mornings and evenings are quieter for a jog or a kick-around. Bring water and sun protection, as open fields have little shade, and check conditions after rain, as fields can be closed to protect the turf. Public barbecues and a playground make it easy to turn a visit into a family picnic.
For sport, a run or a family outing in Burnside, Burnside Park is a well-equipped local ground.
