Ash Close Playground

Tucked into a quiet corner of Shaftesbury, this one isn’t going to win any awards for upkeep — the equipment is showing its age and the greenery has been left to do its own thing for a while. That said, if you’re local and just need somewhere to let the kids burn off some energy for twenty minutes, it does the job. Don’t plan a long afternoon here, but as a quick stop it’s fine. Worth knowing what you’re getting before you make a special trip.
