Why these ages?

Fully fenced with three gated entrances plus a dedicated fenced junior zone inside holding toddler-scale infant swings, junior multi-play, rocker and see-saw. Reviewers repeatedly praise 'fully fenced, ideal for pre-schoolers, safe'. Senior multi-play does have a 5-foot open corner one reviewer's toddler fell from — real 'tall' risk — but the fenced junior zone keeps toddlers physically separated from it. Just off main street, low traffic noise.

Access notes

Two reviews independently describe flat pathways suited to trikes and say the park is easily accessible from the road, with one specifically noting a family member could watch from the car due to mobility issues. Surfacing photos show rubber rather than bark. No accessible toilet is present and no dedicated accessible parking bay or transfer station is named, so this stops short of full confirmation.

Huge grassy area and nice flat pathways perfect for my 2 year old learning to ride a trike with two shaded areas. The park is fully fenced with 3 gated entrances. Just off the main street so no noisy traffic or exhaust pollution. Best of all not packed or over crowded. Only one downside - no loos and no drinking fountain so bring water bottles.

Fully fenced playground which is great so you don't loose any kids as this can be hard to explain to the wife when you get home. Also shaded areas for the vampires who hate being out in the sun!

Great park off the beaten track a bit, so limited road noise, but less than a minute to the motorway. Fully fenced, easily accessible from the road, and gran could even watch the family play from the car if he/she has mobility issues. A …

It seems like a nice tiny park to play at but there's some serious safety problems. The jungle gym with the slides , has one corner completely open and is at about 5 feet from the ground level. My toddler recently fell off this and this was completely unanticipated as it happened so quickly . The expectation was that this opening would have a safe exit through possibly another slide or a staggered platform level of some sort. This has been a hugely traumatic experience for us as a family and we don't want this to happen ever at any playground anywhere.

Nice little, fenced playground, especially for younger children. There's even a friendly cat who likes to drop by for a cuddle and some play time. Picnic tables with sails for shade available.

A gated playground with a nice surrounding garden. Swings for older and younger kids. There is a big climbing frame that spins which my boys enjoy.

Fully fenced which is ideal to keep the extra adventurous little ones from escaping. Some shade and a table. No toilets.
