Arran Place Play Area (King George’s Field)

King George’s Field is one of those spots that doesn’t try too hard, which is honestly why it works. The open grass gives kids room to actually run without bumping into equipment every five seconds, and it’s quiet enough that you can hear yourself think. Good paved paths make it easy for pushchairs or bikes. Not the place to come if you want a climbing frame, but if you want fresh air and space to kick a ball around, it does the job nicely.
