What it’s like
Free outdoor adventure playground with big play structures, woodland to explore and a small city farm, best for kids aged 8 to 16.
This is an outdoor spot built for kids who've outgrown the local park but aren't quite teenagers yet. The adventurous play structures are the main event, and there's woodland to wander through, a children's garden, and a small city farm with farmyard animals to go and stare at once the climbing's done. Indoor workshops run too, which is worth knowing if the weather turns and you need five minutes under a roof.
It's free to get in, which makes it an easy yes on a Saturday when you don't want to commit to a big spend. The site is set at ages 8 to 16, so it's not really built for toddlers or younger children, the structures and the general layout are aimed squarely at kids who want a proper challenge rather than a gentle wobble on a spring.
Because it's mostly outside, dress for the weather rather than hope for the best. There's no food or drink on site, so pack a picnic and eat it in the woodland or the garden if the sun's out. Toilets and baby change are there, along with first aid if you need it, and picnics are actively encouraged rather than just tolerated.
Opening hours are steady across the week, 10am to 6pm every day including school holidays. It's the kind of visit that suits an afternoon rather than a quick half hour, given the ground to cover between the play structures, the woodland and the farm.
