Paxton’s Play Space

Right in the heart of Scarborough’s gardens, this little spot is honestly one of the better finds for parents with toddlers. The sandpit is the main draw, and kids aged three to five absolutely lose themselves in it for ages. Just be warned — the terrain around here is on the steep side, so you’ll want to keep a close eye on little ones who wander. It’s compact, it’s quiet, and it does exactly what it needs to do for that age group.
