Arcadia play park

Right on the East Strand, this little play park is one of those spots locals end up at almost by accident — you’re heading to the beach anyway, so the kids pile in. It’s a handy stop with The Arcadia café and gallery just steps away, which means you can actually grab a coffee while keeping an eye on things. Worth knowing it’s not wheelchair accessible, so plan accordingly. With the sea breeze and the strand right there, it’s a decent shout for a casual morning out in Portrush.
