What a fantastic free play park for the kids! A perfect little detour just off the M5/M6 if you’re travelling up north and need a place for the kids to stretch there legs. Plenty of equipment from a curvy slide, short basket ball court, swings climbing frames, a splash park and even a table football (bring your own ball) You pay for parking just outside the park, but there are ample spaces when we were there and wasn’t expensive. It’s also a stones throw from another park and an outside gym, also both free.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A strong free option for families with younger children needing a motorway break or a local play session. The equipment variety keeps kids engaged across different age groups. Older children occasionally use the younger-oriented equipment, particularly after school, so earlier visits tend to be calmer.

Play area is very good, however the splash area lacks water. You might be disappointed if you were thinking about the kids getting wet.

Overview

Dartmouth Park's main play area delivers a broad equipment mix — curved slides, climbing frames, swings, a short basketball court, table football, and a splash pad — at no entry cost. The location directly off the M5/M6 makes it a natural travel break. Paid parking is available on-site. The splash area does not always have water running, so treat it as a bonus rather than a guarantee.
