Sherwood Playground

Locals know this one is worth the trip — the climbing structure doubles as a mini obstacle course that’ll keep kids busy long enough for you to actually sit down. The swings are a rare win too, with adult-sized options so you’re not just standing around watching. There’s a solid stretch of open grass if anyone needs to burn off extra energy, and the walking path is a nice bonus for a lap or two while the kids do their thing. Parking is easy, and there’s a dairy and takeaway basically right there, which honestly makes this a proper half-day outing for families with kids anywhere from toddlers up to teenagers.
