St Mary’s Close Playground

Locals round here genuinely rate this one — it’s free, it’s clean, and the enclosed setup means kids and dogs can both do their thing without anyone stressing. The dog park side of it is a proper bonus if you’ve got a pet that needs a good run around off the lead. It’s the kind of place you actually feel comfortable letting little ones loose without hovering over them every second. Nothing flashy, but it does exactly what a neighbourhood spot should do.
