Victoria Park Playground

Right in the middle of Newbury, Victoria Park punches well above its weight for a town-centre green space. The playground is properly fenced with soft ground underfoot, so you’re not constantly hovering — slides, swings, climbing frames, and interactive games keep kids genuinely occupied rather than bored after ten minutes. When the little ones are done, there’s tennis, basketball, and a skate area to keep older kids and teens out of your hair too. It’s the kind of place locals end up spending a full afternoon at without really planning to.
