Hardington Recreation Ground

If you’re after somewhere that doesn’t feel overrun on a weekend, this is a solid pick. The zip wire is the obvious crowd-pleaser for kids, but the gravel bike track gets plenty of use too — good for little ones still figuring out their balance. There’s open grass for a kickaround, and the fact it sits close to some decent walking trails means you can easily stretch the visit into a proper afternoon out. Parking’s available, which makes life easier if you’re coming from further into Yeovil. It’s the kind of place locals quietly rate but rarely shout about.
