Unfortunately we pick a day to visit when the council are doing maintenance work on the splash park section!

Luckily the rest of the playground is pretty awesome too! We still enjoy our time at the playground, which means that it’s a winner for any time of year.

The all-abilities playground is dominated by a five-storey wooden climbing fort with various slides stretching out from it, including a very high tube slide.

Younger kids will enjoy the spinning cup (though it does go super fast!), the multi-person see saw, musical elements under the tower, sheltered sandpit and the imaginative play with the tractor.
