Everton Recreation Ground

Honestly, for a village rec ground it punches above its weight. The kids’ area covers the basics well — slides, swings, a seesaw — and it’s the kind of setup that works for anyone from toddlers up to about 12 before they get bored and wander off to the football pitch. That soccer field is genuinely spacious, which means the older ones can have a proper kickabout while the little ones do their thing without everyone getting in each other’s way. It’s Sandy, so don’t expect anything flashy, but locals keep it tidy and it feels safe enough that you’re not hovering the whole time.
