Bracon Ash Park

If you’re after a proper afternoon out without trekking into the city, this one’s worth knowing about. The zipline tends to be the first thing kids sprint towards, and the climbing frame keeps them busy long enough for adults to actually sit down. It’s fully enclosed, which makes a real difference if you’ve got younger ones in the mix — the 2–5 crowd can roam without you shadowing their every move. There’s a decent open field for when the structured play loses its appeal, and the trails near the forest edge give it a bit of a countryside feel despite being easy to get to by car. Picnic tables, parking, loos — it’s got the basics sorted.
