Enclosed playground with toddler swings, climbing frame, and seesaw set in a secluded tree-lined location. Flat access throughout suits pushchairs. Maintenance has been inconsistent - check conditions on arrival.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with toddlers and pre-schoolers who want a quiet, enclosed alternative to busy city parks. The secluded setting is genuinely pleasant on a dry day. Check the swing surfaces before use and scan for dog mess on the path - these have been recurring issues. A short visit rather than a half-day destination.

“I visited this park many years ago thirty there used to be a water fountain near the entrance as i remember and i love the fact it was hidden away ..i used to play marbles and i had a collection in a tub . I was even a pupil at the sandilands school before we moved away . Im just here for nostalgia i never had the chance to grow up here. And coming back home is strange .”

“Great little park. Very secluded by lovely trees. Kids liked it. Playing equipment is a bit old and not much choice but great find as only 10 minutes walk from my house.”

Overview
Chesterton Rd Playground is an enclosed play area featuring toddler swings, a climbing frame, a seesaw, and parent benches, tucked into a quiet residential setting framed by trees. The flat, step-free layout makes it accessible for pushchairs. Equipment is older and the surrounding park has seen maintenance lapses including dog mess and slippery swing surfaces from moss build-up. Recent visitor accounts suggest some improvement over earlier low points.
