Park Avenue Children’s Playground

Honestly, this little spot on Park Avenue is one of those places you’d walk past without a second glance — and that’d be a mistake. The slides and swings keep the 5–10 crowd busy, and the monkey bars are genuinely popular with kids who want something a bit more of a challenge. It’s not going to win any awards for size, but Bideford doesn’t really have a surplus of decent play areas, so locals know what they’ve got here. Good for a quick after-school visit when you just need somewhere to burn off some energy.
