St. Martin’s Play Park

Honestly one of the better spots in Exeter if you’ve got kids who’ve outgrown the toddler stuff — the zipline alone will keep older ones entertained for longer than you’d expect. There’s a solid mix of slides, swings, and a climbing structure, so even if you turn up with different ages it tends to work out. The basketball court and open grass field mean it doesn’t feel like a cramped little corner either — there’s actually room to breathe. A decent all-rounder that gets overlooked in favour of flashier parks, but the locals who use it regularly know what they’ve got.
