Hurst Road Play park

The views from here are genuinely worth the trip on their own — you can see right out over the water, which makes it a decent spot for parents to actually stop and look up from their phones. It’s fully fenced, which is a big deal if you’ve got kids who like to make a run for it, and the gate setup gives you a bit of breathing room. There are slides and swings that keep the 5–14 crowd busy long enough for you to grab a coffee from the café right next door. Parking’s easy too, which isn’t always a given in this part of Lymington.
