Play Park

Small but genuinely useful if you’ve got little ones in tow. The toddler setup here is pretty decent for the size of the place, and the shade trees make a real difference on warmer days — you’re not just standing in a field squinting. They’ve done some tidying up with the overgrown bushes gone, which has opened it right out. There’s a walking path to loop around, and a tennis court nearby means older kids or adults aren’t left twiddling their thumbs. Nothing flashy, but for Darlington families with toddlers close by, it does the job well.
