King Georges Playing Field, Nantglyn

Locals know this one’s worth the trip out to Nantglyn — it’s got a proper BBQ area, which already puts it ahead of most parks round here. The table tennis is a solid touch too, the kind of thing that keeps older kids and adults actually engaged rather than just standing around. It’s the sort of place where you can make a proper afternoon of it rather than a quick ten-minute visit. Bring your own charcoal and something to grill and you’ve basically got everything you need.
