Playground

Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac off Purdom Close, this little spot punches above its weight for such a straightforward urban setup. The locals clearly look after it — you can tell it’s actually used and cared for, not just forgotten between council visits. It’s handy if you’re already running errands nearby, since the shops and services aren’t far at all. Worth knowing about if you live in Thornton, especially given how accessible it is for kids who need that.
