Dukes Meadows Recreational Area

“Lovely selection of wooden play equipment age 2 to 12ish ( many adults assisting children on various pieces ! ). Of note is th giant witches hat shaped spider web which offers plenty of challenge to climb. The deep sand pit has two slides in it, small n wide and another long and narrow with a sheltered entrance tunnel. There are two pulleys too; a cute side by side friends one and a long two towered one by the edge of the meadow. It's easy to put your belongings on a bench, or on a shaded grassy area under small trees. There are horsey sculptures to laze on, a water fountain for your bottles and toilets by the kiosk near the entrance. NB you are asked not to ride your cycles within the play area to avoid accidents. The plantings across the site are very well thought out: irises, giant agapanthus, grasses and roses abound.”

“A true little gem in the area, a small paddling pool is a fantastic treat for kids of all ages in the summer, easily accessible and free of charge. Excellent idea! More of the same in other locations, please!”

“Really enjoyed a hot day here with the kids playing in the paddling pool and adventure playground. It's clean and well maintained area. Will definitely be coming back again”
