Bishop Park Playground

If you’ve got a toddler in tow and you’re already heading down to the beach at Eastbourne, this little playground is worth the two-minute detour. The fenced area is a genuine bonus — you can actually relax for five minutes without doing the constant escape-artist patrol. It’s pretty simple: swings and a slide, which is honestly all a 2-year-old needs before demanding ice cream anyway. Toilets on-site too, which anyone with small kids knows is basically non-negotiable.
