Y Maes, Playground

Just off the quiet streets of Criccieth, this little playground does exactly what it needs to without any fuss. You’ve got swings and a merry-go-round — proper traditional stuff that kids actually want to use — plus a decent-sized grass field and a soccer pitch if they need to burn off more energy. Parents can keep an eye on things easily, and there’s parking nearby which makes life a lot simpler. It’s well-kept, nothing’s broken or sad-looking, which honestly isn’t something you can say about every council playground around here. A solid local spot for a relaxed afternoon out.
