Do You Have a Local Park?

Ask a Question

Do you have local play areas you can take your kids to?

Do you find them clean and tidy (Free from litter), not damaged or with things like a swing missing?

We have a few play areas near us. All of them are clean and tidy, there are never any items damaged or missing.

Very lucky to live less than 5 minutes from a nice big park. I always call it my back garden. I don’t have kids but there is a massive play ground there that is very well maintained

I’m lucky to live in a small old council estate. Its a lovely old fashioned street where everyone knows everyone and less than 5 minutes away there is a big football sized pitch on one side of the road and on the other side of the road there are swings and climbing frames etc.

There is a small park 5 minute walk. The local council lock it about 6pm. There’s a playground area and field, we’re lucky. Plus the forest is only 10-15 walk away.

We have a few and most are really well maintained by gardeners. I did go to one the that doesn't have a gardener and is more hidden away and some one has set fire to one of the play equipment . My daughter and I were so sad.

Got a small one with swings, picnic tables and a mini basketball court about 1 minute walk from my home and a much larger one with more stuff about 3 minutes walk. There is a big recreation park with a lot more stuff about 13 minutes walk from me but the council with all its debts is talking about cutting back there but presumably all the children's swings, seesaws, climbing frames etc will stay but I guess if they don't have someone checking the condition and safety of some of the bigger more dangerous activitites those might be removed. The countryside and cycle routes are fairly close too perhaps 11 minute walk to the south. Yeovil seems to have a lot of decent parks but not sure how they compare to other places.
