Cornwallis Circle Play Area

Solid little spot if you’re after somewhere the kids can properly burn off energy without driving across town. There’s a decent spread of kit — slides, swings, seesaw, climbing frame, and a merry-go-round that always seems to have a queue — plus a basketball hoop if yours are at that age. The grass field out back is genuinely big, good enough for a proper kickabout. It stays pretty clean too, which you notice more once you’ve been to a few that don’t. Parking’s easy and the benches are well-positioned, so you can actually keep an eye on things without standing the whole time.
