Crosthwaite Playground

Honestly, it doesn’t try to be anything it’s not — just solid swings and slides for the little ones, which is exactly what most kids actually want anyway. It’s a proper local spot, the kind that’s been quietly doing its job for years without any fuss. Good for ages 3 to 10, though the younger end will probably get the most out of it. If you’re already out and about in Kendal with kids in tow, it’s worth knowing where it is.
