High View Play Area

Up on the hill in Bideford, this little spot punches above its weight for a local urban play area. The climbing frame keeps older kids busy while the swings and slides handle the toddler crowd — it genuinely covers the 2-12 range without feeling like an afterthought. There’s a football pitch alongside too, which means you can plonk yourself on the sidelines while the kids burn off energy in two different directions. Nothing fancy, but it does the job and locals clearly rate it.
