Kids Play Area

Locals with little ones know this spot holds up well — the equipment is kept in decent shape and you’re not going to show up to find half of it broken or covered in graffiti. There’s a solid variety of things for toddlers to clamber around on, which keeps them busy longer than you’d expect. Parking is right there, which honestly makes a big difference when you’ve got a pushchair and a bag full of snacks to lug across town. The toilets are on site too, a genuine lifesaver when you’re out with small kids. For families in and around Sherborne, it’s one of those reliable spots you keep coming back to.
