St Ives Showground Playground

If you’re local to St Ives, you’ve probably already figured out that the Showground is one of those spots you keep coming back to. The open grass field is genuinely massive — kids can just run and not stop, which is honestly underrated. A walking path loops around the area, and with forest and trails right nearby, it’s easy to tack on a proper walk before or after. Families with kids of all ages tend to do well here, and the fitness crowd shows up regularly too. It’s not flashy, but that’s kind of the point.
