Ronaldshay park Playground

The slide here is genuinely one of the better ones in Richmond — fast enough to get a reaction out of older kids but not so intense it puts off the little ones. What makes this spot worth the visit is the mix of stuff on offer: there’s a skateboard area that’s great for beginners just finding their feet, plus fitness equipment if you want to actually do something while the kids play. It’s an urban park so don’t expect countryside vibes, but it’s well-used and feels lived-in in a good way. Street parking is free and pretty easy to find, which honestly makes a difference when you’re wrangling kids and kit.
