Ilmington Playground

If you’re heading out to Shipston-on-Stour with kids, this one’s worth the trip. The climbing frames and sandbox keep younger ones genuinely occupied, and the swings are always a hit — there’s usually a decent queue on weekends, which tells you everything. I like that there’s proper open grass alongside the play equipment, so older kids can kick a ball around while the little ones do their thing. The musical equipment is a nice touch, a bit different from your standard setup. Restrooms and picnic tables on site means you can actually stay a while without having to pack up early.
