Levens Playing Fields

Locals know this one’s worth the trip — the zipline alone keeps kids coming back, and the swings are solid for the little ones from about age 2 upward. The basketball court and football pitch mean older kids aren’t just standing around waiting for a turn on the play equipment, which makes a real difference when you’ve got siblings at different ages. Pack a lunch because there are picnic tables, and honestly you’ll want to stay longer than planned. Everything’s kept in good nick too, which isn’t something you can say about every council-run site in the area.
