Play Garden

If you’re local to Hexham, you’ve probably already been dragged here more than once. The climbing structure keeps older kids busy while the swings and slides handle the younger ones, and there’s enough going on that you might actually get five minutes of peace. What makes it worth the visit though is the setting — there’s a stream and pond nearby that kids inevitably find their way to, so maybe don’t wear your best shoes. It’s a solid spot, nothing flashy, just a genuinely good place to burn off some energy.
