Alphington Playing Fields

Locals round here use Alphington Playing Fields pretty much year-round, and it’s easy to see why. The soccer field gets proper use on weekends — you’ll often catch local matches while the kids burn off energy on the slides and swings nearby. There’s decent parking, which sounds basic but honestly makes a big difference when you’re hauling stuff for a family afternoon out. The shade trees are a genuine bonus in summer, and the flat open grass means younger kids can run around without you constantly holding your breath. Dog walkers claim it just as much as the football crowd, so expect a good mix of Exeter locals doing their thing.
