Broughton Park & Playground

Honestly, it’s nothing fancy, but for toddlers it does the job just fine — basic equipment, open space, and you’re not hunting around for somewhere to park. The free parking right there makes a real difference when you’ve got little ones to wrangle. There’s a proper grass field and a soccer pitch, so older siblings or dads who can’t switch off get something to do too. Dog walkers use it a fair bit, which gives it a nice lived-in, community feel. A solid local patch if you’re in the Preston area and just need somewhere easy.
