Play park

Thurso’s play park is one of those spots locals keep coming back to, especially once the weather turns halfway decent. The climbing gear and tunnels keep kids genuinely occupied for a good stretch, which any parent will tell you is worth its weight in gold. When summer actually shows up, the splash area becomes the main event — small but effective, and the kids absolutely love it. Best of all, it’s free, which up here feels like a rare win.
