Ballycotton Playground

A short walk from the water’s edge in Ballycotton village, this little playground punches well above its weight. The views out over the bay are genuinely hard to beat — kids probably don’t care, but parents absolutely will. Equipment is clean and well-maintained, with slides, swings, and a climbing structure that keeps younger ones busy while you sit at the picnic tables and actually decompress for once. Parking is handy, the sightlines are good, and it’s the kind of spot where you can actually relax without hovering over every move they make.
