★★★★★Featured review by Alex Ikhelis

Great playground area, in very good condition, lots of space and has enough equipment for various age groups - which is a rare find. Beautiful location by Thames Path, but is slightly hidden away from public behind the trees and a fence, so kids have a quieter space for play and making new friends.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

One of the few playgrounds in the area with equipment that works across a full age range — from babies taking their first slides to older children on climbing frames. The Thames Path setting rewards families who combine playground time with a walk. The secluded position keeps it calmer than more exposed playgrounds.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Look for the playground set back behind trees and fencing from the main Thames Path
⏰Suits babies from around one year old through to older children on climbing structures
đŸŽŸī¸A separate enclosed dog area sits nearby — useful for families walking pets
🚗Pairs well with a Thames Path walk, especially if younger children nap in pushchairs

“Perfect play area for your small ones. One of the few play grounds that includes playing equipment for all ages. I took my one years old there and she enjoyed the little slide which was very suitable for her age”

“Small, but comfortable :) there is a big slide, and some different climbing toys. Good spaces for children to run. Really close to Thames Path, so nice to go for a walk when kids fall asleep! On the right side there is a big green closed area for dogs to run.”

Overview

Westerly Ware Play Area sits along Thames Path behind a tree line and fence, giving children a quieter space away from foot traffic. Equipment spans age groups from a small slide suitable for one-year-olds through to climbing structures for older children. The open layout provides good running space, and the Thames Path location makes it a natural stop on a riverside walk.
