🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children who enjoy climbing and are happy on a frame-and-slide setup without swings. Check current equipment status before making a trip specifically for this playground — key items have been absent for months at a stretch.

⏰Bring hand sanitiser — litter including bottles has been reported around the play area
🎟️Combine with the river walk and rugby fields for a longer family outing

“Brilliant day at the event of Hoot in the park. Friendly police officers. The food was exquisite from the crepe van. The pride of the day was the Berkshire birds of prey, the birds were fantastic, and Angela and her team were very informative and very helpful in answering questions .”

“Good playground with fun equipment. Several climbing frames with slides, teeter totter, rocking springs, and a pirate boat that rocks. Fun tire swing and 2- seater spinning rope swing that kids love. Lots of rubbish and empty beer cans and a bottle or urine laying on the ground, it is in need of a good tidy up.”

The surrounding area connects to river walks and rugby fields. Maintenance has been inconsistent — reviewers across multiple years flag missing swings, a missing roundabout, graffiti, and persistent litter including broken glass and bottles.
