Exeter Close Play Area

Honestly, Exeter Close punches well above its weight for a neighbourhood play area in Kidlington. The kit list is genuinely impressive — zipline, merry-go-round, tire swing, sandbox, musical equipment, seesaw — it’s the kind of place where kids aged 2 to 12 can all find something to obsess over without anyone feeling left out. There’s real space here too, not that cramped, everything-on-top-of-each-other feeling you get at smaller spots. Chuck in a soccer field, open grass, and picnic tables and you’ve basically got a full afternoon sorted without needing to pack up and drive anywhere else. Parking’s easy enough, which, around here, is never a given.
