West Hill Children’s Playground

If you’re after a quiet spot where you can actually sit down and breathe for a minute, this little playground on West Hill delivers. The swings keep toddlers happy, and the benches mean you’re not standing around awkwardly while they do their thing. The sea views up here are genuinely hard to beat — you get that wide open stretch across the coast that reminds you why people move to Hastings in the first place. It’s low-key, unhurried, and feels safe enough that you can relax rather than hover.
