What it’s like
A free playground with a mix of play equipment and a sandpit to dig in.
There's no entry fee here, which makes it an easy add-on if you're already walking or cycling the Downs Link and need somewhere for the kids to stop and climb about for a bit. The site lists a mix of play equipment plus a sandpit, so you've got the usual scrambling and climbing options alongside somewhere for the smaller ones to sit and dig without needing to be chased round a big frame.
Because it's free and outdoors, it works well as a stop rather than a destination in itself. Bring a bucket and spade for the sandpit if you can, since that's the bit that'll keep a younger child occupied longest while older siblings work through the rest of the equipment.
It suits a shortish visit rather than a whole afternoon, especially if you're breaking up a longer walk or bike ride along the Downs Link route. There's no booking involved.
