Stanton Cross park (south)

The zipline alone makes this one worth the trip — kids clock up some serious mileage on it. The equipment is proper modern stuff, not the battered old metal frames you see at half the parks around Wellingborough, and it shows. There’s a solid climbing structure, a seesaw, and decent slides to keep different ages happy. What I really like is that the paths are actually lit up, so an evening visit in winter doesn’t mean fumbling around in the dark while your kids run off somewhere you can’t see them.
