Lord’s Meadow

Locals know this Bideford spot delivers more than your average park visit — there’s a zipline that older kids will absolutely hammer, plus slides and obstacles that keep the younger ones busy long enough for you to actually sit down. The new benches are a proper upgrade, and with picnic tables on hand, it’s worth packing a lunch. A basketball court adds another reason for older children to stick around, and there’s a separate section for toddlers so the little ones aren’t getting mowed down by bigger kids on the zip wire. Good all-rounder, honestly.
