πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children from toddlers through to early teens who are happy spending 3-4 hours at a destination playground. The pirate ship and sand combination keeps younger children occupied for extended periods, the skate park adds appeal for older kids, and the football pitches make it a natural after-sport stop.

β€œThis playground is amazing. There is something for all ages from toddlers to teens. My son loved the pirate ships and the huge sand put that goes all the way around them. The climbing area was fun too. They do have some equipment like swings and roundabouts that have disabled access. We spent around 4 hours here and my son did not want to leave. There is a small shop but we didn't use it as we had taken a picnic. There are also toilets available in the sports hall next to the park.”

β€œWithy Grove Park in Preston is a fantastic place for families! It has a very big and well-maintained play area with lots of equipment for kids to enjoy. There are refreshments available, plenty of car parking, and it’s dog-friendly too. It’s a perfect spot for a family day out or a picnic. Highly recommendedπŸ‘πŸ‘β€

β€œMy son plays football here every other week with his team. Plenty of parking, great 4G football pitches and he loves the park after games. There's toilets and a little cafe on site which is a god send”
