Portballintrae Playground

Just outside Bushmills, this fenced-in play area is a solid little spot that locals actually trust with their younger ones. The enclosed setup means kids aged 2 to 10 can run around without you having to constantly hover, which makes a real difference. It’s kept tidy too — not always a given around here. And honestly, the view from this part of Portballintrae makes just sitting and watching the kids play genuinely enjoyable rather than something you’re just enduring.
