Lovely playground. Beautiful place. 4 stars because there is quite a lot of rubbish around. It should be cleaner - the authorities should make sure this place is spotless and safe for children. Otherwise, it’s great.

Fantastic play park right by the beach, perfect for kids of all ages! Lots of fun equipment including slides, swings and imaginative pirate‑themed features that kept our little ones entertained for ages. Great spot to stop during a seaside walk, with places to sit and picnic nearby. Really enjoyed it and will definitely come back!

Play park is next to the beach, it’s lovely. No dogs allowed inside the kids' play area. Big space, but not much in there for the size.

Public park so close to the beach, it’s lovely. No dogs allowed inside kids play area. There’s a hammock, slide ,swing, etc. The pictures shared here are late winter but it’s is crowded during summer. You go this close to the park, then it’s worth visiting the beach too! There is good parking space available as well!! There are public toilets here as well

Alum Chine Play Park is a great place to stop during a beach stroll. Our children love it here and it makes a great coffee stop at the Vesuvio restaurant where you can sit outside at the back of the restaurant and safely pwatch your children play. There are public toilets next to the park.
