1 / 3Blaise Castle Play Area
đ Henbury, South West
Spacious playground divided into younger and older children's sections, featuring swings, slides, climbing apparatus, spinning equipment, and a popular sand pit with a wooden boat.
We absolutely love coming to Blaise. There's so many things to play on, various types of swings, in sizes to fit all ages and body types. Lots of slides, spinny things and climbing apparatus. There's a large sand pit with a wooden boat in the centre, which my child adores. Huge playing field and woodland behind if you need somewhere to exercise your dog. There's also a cafe and toilets onsite. Only thing which is lacking, is the toilets are very often unsanitary to put it lightly, but I let it slide as I find myself hard pushed to find any public toilets which are, and I'd much rather they were there, than not. Overall I highly recommend for anyone who wants somewhere to take the kids for a few hours, or just if you wanted to have a go yourself!
đ Family Action Verdict
A strong choice for families with children of mixed ages who want a full outdoor day combining playground, parkland, and optional castle exploration. The two-section layout keeps toddlers and older children in appropriate zones.

âFantastic play area with enough space and equipment for kids of all ages. Very near the toilets (dirty though) and cafe. Ice cream vans are also back. Short walk to museum and 20 minutes walk to the Castleâ

âThis is a great place for kids of all ages to let loose and have some fun. The play area is divided into two sections, one for younger children and one for older children. The younger children's section has a sand pit, swings, a climbing frame, and a slide. The older children's section has a tree house climbing frame, trampoline, tube slides, basket swing, speaking tubes, roundabout, seesaw, high swings, climbing towers, and a zip wire. There are also plenty of benches and picnic tables where parents can relax while their kids play. The play area is well-maintained and clean, and it's located in a beautiful park setting. There are also plenty of other things to do in the park, such as visiting the castle, exploring the woods, or having a picnic. Overall, Blaise Castle Play Area is a great place for families to spend a day outdoors.â

âBeautiful park with loads of activities to do for toddlers and children. I did have an issue with a woman who was vaping in by the jungle set which annoyed me a lot as there was loads of children playing around their. I would have given her a piece of my mind if my nephew went near where she was vaping. DEAREST DARLING, VAPE SOMEWHERE ELSE.â
