Fishbourne Playground

If you’ve got a train-obsessed kid, this place basically runs itself — there’s a spot where you can watch the trains go by, which buys you a solid extra 20 minutes before anyone starts moaning. The play area covers all the bases: zipline, climbing frame, roundabout, swings, and slides, so there’s enough to keep different ages happy at the same time. Free parking is a genuine bonus around here, and the shaded seating means you’re not just standing around squinting. Older kids and adults can drift over to the basketball court or spread out across the large field, and the tennis courts are there if you’re organised enough to bring rackets.
