Doveridge Park

If you’ve got little ones who need to burn off some energy, this park in Ashbourne delivers. The spider ropes are genuinely the star of the show — kids absolutely flock to them. There’s a climbing structure and slides alongside, so younger children have plenty to keep them busy without wandering off. The bike track and open grass field mean you’re not just killing ten minutes either — you could easily spend a proper afternoon here. It’s well maintained too, which isn’t something you can say about every park in the area.
