Riverside Playground

If you’re after a solid half-day out with the kids, this Felixstow spot delivers more than just a playground. The climbing structure and slides keep the 2–10 crowd genuinely occupied while you actually get to relax — especially with the river views doing their thing in the background. There’s a BBQ area and parking on-site, so bringing food and making an afternoon of it is easy. The bike track and walking path are a proper bonus, connecting you straight into the trail network near the forest and along the water. It’s well looked after too, which honestly isn’t something you can say about every local park.
