Buntingsdale Park Playground

Honestly, if you’re local to Market Drayton and just want somewhere green and low-key to take the kids, this one does the job nicely. The equipment is well kept — none of that peeling paint and wobbly-bolt nonsense you get at some council parks — and the grass surfaces give it a proper outdoorsy feel. There’s a football field right next to it, which means older kids and dads who think they’ve still got it can kick a ball around while the little ones play. It stays clean too, which sounds like a low bar but really isn’t around here. A solid neighbourhood spot that doesn’t try too hard.
