Ernie Jurd Oval Playground

Locals with kids know this oval is one of the more practical spots around Largs for a proper afternoon out. The play gear — slides, swings, and a climbing structure — covers enough ground to keep the 2-to-12 crowd busy without anyone getting bored too fast. Shade trees take the edge off on hot days, and the picnic tables mean you can actually sit down and eat something instead of chasing kids while holding a sandwich. Parking’s right there, the oval gives older kids room to kick a ball around, and the walking path is handy if you want to stretch your legs while the little ones do their thing.
