King George V Playing Fields

Locals with kids know this one well — it’s got enough going on that you’re not dragged back to the car after ten minutes. The zipline tends to be the big draw, but there’s a solid climbing structure and swings too, so younger ones aren’t left out while the older kids hog the good stuff. Everything’s laid out so you can actually keep an eye on things without constantly running across the field, which matters more than people admit. The big open grass area doubles as a football pitch, and it’s genuinely big — proper room to run. Grab one of the picnic tables, it’s a quiet enough spot that you won’t feel rushed.
