Hythe Park

Overview

Hythe Park in Egham is a lovely local spot that's been transformed from a charity swan sanctuary into a vibrant park, thanks to some funding. It's got a great vibe, perfect for families looking to enjoy a day out. You'll find two playgrounds here - one is totally fenced for the little ones, making it a safe haven for toddlers to explore, while the other is more open and caters to older kids and teenagers. There's also a community orchard which adds a nice touch of greenery! Suitable for Toddlers to teenagers.

The atmosphere is pretty chill, with tree-lined paths where you can take leisurely strolls while the kids play. Despite its charm, some areas could use a bit of TLC, especially in the maintenance department, as some equipment is a bit worn. But don't let that put you off; it's still a great space for a fun day out with the kids!
