Fenced playground with well-designed equipment in a green setting, plus a small wooded area for exploration. Quiet and accessible from nearby street parking. No toilets on site, and ground is frequently wet.

★★★★★Featured review by Joe Woods

Pickhurst park, or Pirate Island as we call it, is a great place to take the kids. Short walk from the nearby on street parking. The play park is fenced off nicely. Lots of people walking their dogs around outside. Quite clean. There is a small wooded area attached to explore also.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with younger children who want a well-equipped, fenced playground with a bonus woodland area to explore. The quiet setting suits those who prefer a less crowded experience. Bring wellies and plan a bathroom stop before arriving — wet ground and the absence of toilets are the two consistent limitations.
