There are all sorts of facilities here for kids at different age groups. The climbing frames are especially fun for kids above four. The facilities are not particularly new and some of them are already out of order. Some of the swing are not working and the seats are gone. There are toilets, easy to reach. However, the penguin could be very busy and sometimes it’s difficult to watch your children. There is a cafΓ© next to the playground by the track field.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A solid free playground for families with children aged 2–10 who have walked up Parliament Hill and need a play stop. The gated perimeter gives parents a contained space. The climbing frames are well-suited to ages 4 and over.

⏰The gated perimeter makes it easier to supervise younger children
🎟️Climbing frames are designed for ages 4 and over β€” younger toddlers have separate equipment
πŸš—Combine with the hill walk and heath for a longer outing that justifies the travel

β€œSuch a lovely place for children but also grown ups. Who doesn’t like to splash about and have fun? It’s clean, it’s safe and has accessible toilets and handy shower outside for refreshing. It has non slippery surfaces and lovely grassy area for picnic. Only downfall is that is accessible only through actual kids playground and not directly to the pool. Another downside is there isn’t any decent cafe or restaurant to dine in or buy refreshments or snack but what do you want from free public pool? Still amazing that is free πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œβ€

β€œGreat playground for young kids. Spacious, gated and with toilets. The splash park wasn't open for us (25/9) so maybe just summer months but unsure. Perfect spot for the kids to run around after you've dragged them up the top of the hill to see the view.”
