Playground

Right in the middle of Lerwick, so it’s easy to get to whether you’re walking from town or just passing through. The climbing structure keeps kids busy, and the enclosed area means you’re not constantly chasing after little ones — proper fencing makes a real difference up here where the wind doesn’t help. Parents can actually see what’s going on without having to hover, which is a bonus. The open grass field next to it gives older kids room to run around when they’ve exhausted the equipment. It’s kept tidy too, which isn’t always a given, so full marks for that.
