Fortyfoot Recreation Ground

Overview

Fortyfoot Recreation Ground is a lovely little playground that offers a delightful escape for families, especially those with younger children. Set just a short stroll from the town centre, it's the kind of place that feels friendly and welcoming. You'll find yourself surrounded by greenery, perfect for letting the kids run wild while you catch a breath of fresh air. It's a small playground, but it's clean and well looked after, which is always a big plus in my book. Suitable for Suitable for toddlers and young children.

The atmosphere feels quite relaxed. You can see families enjoying a day out, dog walkers passing by, and kids laughing as they slide down or swing high up into the air. It's not too busy either, which can be a breath of fresh air compared to some of the larger parks. Just be aware that it might take a little effort to find if you're not local - a map could come in handy!
