Spider Park

Locals round here know this little spot in Matlock as a decent shout if you’ve got grandkids in tow. The swings get plenty of use and the kids seem genuinely happy on them, which is what matters. There’s CCTV around, so you can relax a bit rather than hovering constantly — always a bonus. Only gripe you’ll hear from regulars is that it could do with a bit more to keep older children occupied beyond the swings.
