St. Francis Grove Playground

Locals know this one’s a bit different from your standard Grimsby playground — the equipment here includes some unusual pieces you won’t find dotted around other parks in the area, which keeps kids genuinely interested rather than bored after five minutes. There’s the usual slides, swings, and climbing structure, but also exercise machines which older kids actually get stuck into. The soft flooring throughout is a proper bonus, especially if you’ve got little ones who are still finding their feet — or if the roller skaters show up. It’s fully enclosed with good sightlines, so parents can actually relax for five minutes rather than hovering constantly. Suits all ages, which is rarer than you’d think.
