Grampian Rd Play Area

Locals know this one as a no-frills spot, and honestly that’s fine — sometimes you just need somewhere for the kids to burn off energy without driving anywhere. It’s tucked into a residential part of Alford, which means it’s dead easy to reach if you’re already in the area. Don’t come expecting a huge setup, but for a quick outdoor breather it does the job. Families in the neighbourhood tend to treat it more as a casual hangout than a destination, which gives it a relaxed, unhurried feel.
