Also As Playground

Locals know this one’s worth the trip — it’s got the full mix of slides, swings, climbing frames, and a sandbox, so kids from toddlers right up to 12 actually all find something to do rather than fighting over the same piece of equipment. The park is kept in genuinely good nick, which you notice straightaway. Picnic tables, benches, shade trees, decent parking — it ticks the practical boxes too, and parents can keep an eye on things easily from most spots. The open grass field and walking path mean you can stretch the visit out, and being close to the River Ouse trails makes it a solid half-day if the weather plays ball. There’s a cafe nearby for when someone inevitably needs a snack five minutes after arriving.
