Queen’s Acre Play Field

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Taunton, this one doesn’t get the attention it deserves. The play area is simple — slides and swings — but it’s well-maintained and easy to keep an eye on the kids from the picnic tables nearby. What really makes it worth the trip is the open grass field with a football goal, which honestly keeps older kids busy for ages. Shade trees dotted around make it genuinely comfortable on a warm day, and parking is straightforward. If you’re up for it, the proximity to woodland trails means you can tack on a little walk before or after.
