Bates Memorial Play Area

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Kenilworth, this little play area is one of those spots locals are quietly glad hasn’t been discovered by everyone yet. It’s simple — slides and swings — but that’s honestly all you need when you’ve got a toddler who just wants to burn off some energy. The woodland and open field right alongside it make it feel properly green, and it’s a decent walk with a dog too. Families with young kids tend to use it regularly, partly because it’s calm enough that you can actually relax while the little ones play.
