Went with 20 month old niece she loved the swings and slide but she was a bit to young to go on anything by herself

Great little playground: Lots of variety, and for such a small paly area it still feels spacious. Activities like rainmakers, sound pipes and spinners for very tiny ones, slides and climbing frames for middle sized kids and larger swings, larger climbing units and a zip line for all big kids, plus a single basketball net at the entrance / to the side and a huge field behind. Only thing to note: no dogs.

Great village kids playground. The wooden assault course is brilliant. Some of the equipment needs a bit of a refurb, but nothing drastic. Our 7 year old loved it.

My son really enjoyed this playground. There are loads of apparatus for the kids to play on. The ground has rubber matting so its safe if they fall. The area is all fenced in with secure gates. Overall a really good playground.

Great walks from here as well up to Hagg Wood or for those cycling there is a cycle route all the way upto Stamford Bridge.
