Houlton Children Park

If you’re looking for a solid local park that actually delivers for kids of different ages, this one in Rugby is worth knowing about. The equipment is newer than most you’ll find around here — slides, tunnels, a merry go round, climbing structure, and a sandbox that younger ones will happily lose an hour in. There’s a proper football pitch for older kids plus open grass to run around on, and the whole play area is enclosed so you’re not constantly chasing toddlers toward the car park. Picnic tables, benches, restrooms, and parking all on site makes it genuinely easy for a longer visit. It’s the kind of place that works for a mixed-age group, which is rarer than it should be.
