Victoria Road Play Area

Right in the middle of town, this little play area is one of those spots you end up at almost by accident — you’re already nearby running errands or grabbing lunch, and the kids spot it before you do. It’s a handy option if you’re spending the day in Dartmouth and need somewhere for them to burn off some energy without trekking out of the centre. The Flavel Arts Centre is practically around the corner, so there’s plenty to do for the adults too. Getting there is straightforward enough for pushchairs and anyone with mobility needs, which isn’t always a given in a town with Dartmouth’s hills.
