Tick-Tock Park, Stoke Green

Stoke Green doesn’t have a massive park, but Tick-Tock does the job well for what it is. The enclosed area means you’re not constantly chasing kids toward the road, and the benches actually face the play equipment — someone thought that through. It’s a slides-and-grass setup, nothing flashy, but it’s kept tidy and the open field gives older kids room to run around while the little ones do their thing. Parking on the side road is easy enough, which makes it a proper go-to for a quick after-school run-around without the faff.
