Play Park Northlew

Tucked into a quiet corner of Northlew near Okehampton, this little village park punches above its weight for such a small community. The enclosed setup is a proper bonus — kids aged 2 to 12 can run between the swings, slides, and climbing structure while parents actually sit down for five minutes at the picnic tables without losing sight of anyone. Parking’s easy, the benches are well-placed, and the open grass field gives older kids room to burn off energy beyond the main equipment. It’s nothing flashy, but that’s kind of the point — it’s a solid, well-thought-out local park that does exactly what it needs to do.
