Cuckoo Park

Cuckoo Park is one of those spots that genuinely works for the whole family, not just the little ones. The sandpit is a proper size — kids actually have room to dig without elbowing each other — and the wooden climbing frames next to it give older children something worth tackling. There’s a basketball court and football field for when the bigger kids get restless, plus the outdoor gym means parents don’t have to just sit and watch. Picnic tables with carved animals are a nice touch, and with parking right there, it’s an easy one to actually commit to on a weekend afternoon.
