Whatton & Aslockton Playing Field

Honestly, this one punches above its weight for a village playing field. The kit is genuinely well looked after — no rusty chains or wobbly bits — and there’s enough variety to keep kids of different ages busy at the same time, which isn’t always a given round here. You’ve got your slides and swings for the little ones, plus a zipline and merry-go-round that the older kids actually bother with. There’s a football pitch and open grass on top of that, so if you’re bringing a mixed-age group it’s worth the trip. Grab a bench and settle in — you’ll be there longer than you planned.
