Playground

If you’re heading to Portstewart with the kids and don’t want the stress of circling for parking, this one’s a solid choice — free parking right there, no hassle. There’s a football pitch and basketball court, so older kids and teenagers actually have something to do rather than standing around looking bored. The walking path is a nice touch if you want to stretch your legs while the little ones run themselves ragged. It’s the kind of open, no-fuss space that works for a quick after-school kick-about or a longer family afternoon out.
