Ellesmere Road Playground

Honestly, it’s a pretty simple setup — swings and a decent stretch of open grass — but for families with younger kids, that’s often all you need. The fencing makes a real difference if you’ve got a toddler who likes to make a run for it, and the whole place is kept tidy, which isn’t something you can say about every playground round here. That freshly cut grass smell on a sunny day is half the appeal. Good for kids roughly 2 to 10, nothing too adventurous, but a solid local spot that does the job.
