Takeley Play Park

Honestly, this one’s a solid little find if you’ve got a toddler in tow and just need somewhere close to burn off some energy. It’s small — don’t come expecting a massive setup — but for the under-5 crowd, the slides and swings are exactly what they need. The kind of park where you’ll bump into the same familiar faces, which is half the appeal really. Dead convenient if you’re local to the area.
