Temple Sowerby Park

Honestly, it’s more of a green breathing space than a destination playground — but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re passing through Temple Sowerby and the kids need to stretch their legs, or you fancy somewhere quiet to eat your lunch without anyone bothering you, this little park does the job. It’s the kind of place locals seem to appreciate precisely because it doesn’t try too hard. Just don’t come expecting swings or a climbing frame, because there aren’t any.
