Rossmore Forest Park Playground

If you’re looking for somewhere to bring the kids that doesn’t feel like a car park with a slide stuck in it, this is your spot. The playground sits right in among the trees at Rossmore Forest Park, so you’re getting proper fresh air and shade rather than baking in the sun while the little ones run themselves ragged. It’s well maintained — whoever looks after it actually cares, which makes a difference. The walking paths through the forest mean you can easily stretch the visit into a proper afternoon out, not just a quick half hour. Locals come back to it again and again, and honestly it’s easy to see why.
