Wilton Lodge playground

If you’re local to Hawick, you’ll already know this one’s a solid choice for a family afternoon out. The enclosed setup makes it genuinely relaxed for parents — kids aren’t going anywhere, which matters more than people admit. It covers a good age spread too, from toddlers right up to 13-year-olds, so siblings aren’t left standing around bored. Kept clean and tidy consistently, which isn’t something you can say about every council playground. There are toilets nearby as well, so no mid-visit panic on that front.
