Milton Park

Locals with kids know this one well — it’s a solid, no-fuss spot that actually delivers. The climbing structure keeps older kids busy while the slides and swings cover the littler ones, so kids from around 2 to 12 genuinely have something to do here. 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 snacks across the grass. Parents tend to appreciate how easy it is to keep an eye on the whole playground without moving from the bench. Throw in a decent open grass field and you’ve got yourself a proper afternoon out without having to go far.
