Lydiard Park Play Area

Two separate play areas means you’re not stuck refereeing arguments about whose turn it is on the slide — there’s genuinely enough to keep kids of different ages busy without anyone feeling shortchanged. The climbing structures and swings are solid, and parents can actually sit down and relax rather than hover, which makes a real difference on a long afternoon out. Pack a picnic or grab something from the café, because with the lakes nearby and the walking paths looping through the grounds, you’ll likely end up staying longer than planned. The BBQ area and shade trees are a nice touch in summer, and parking is straightforward enough that you won’t arrive already stressed.
