Blenheim Palace Adventure Playground Review

I’m doing a separate Blenheim Palace adventure playground review to the main site because it’s an additional charge and entirely optional so it makes sense really. It’s been open for nearly 18 months now but this is the first time that I’ve actually been down to check it out. So what made us finally go […]

Longwick Village Hall Playground and Skate Park Review

I only found the playground at Longwick Village Hall by accident, and even then it was only because of the skate park. I’d spotted a neighbouring playground on google maps when I was looking for things to do one day, and then saw the skate park next to it. That made it pretty much a […]

Brill Recreation Ground Review

The playground at Brill Recreation Ground in Buckinghamshire recently had an upgrade but it’s taken us a while to get down there and check it out. It was worth the wait though. The playground has been designed with a windmill theme to match the windmill that dominates so much of the village. If you want […]

Eskdale Road, Stoke Mandeville Playground Review

This review of the playground on Eskdale Road in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire has been updated since the whole park had a recent refurbishment. The playground itself is set within a large recreation ground and there’s a good variety of things to do for both younger and older children. It’s a fully enclosed playground with seating […]

Irchester Country Park Review

This half term seems to have been all about Northamptonshire and this review of Irchester Country Park was part of that. Annoyingly this place has been elusive for a while now – I’ve tried to visit three times and for various reasons haven’t made it. Thinking about it, that seems to happen quite a lot! […]

The Lawn Playground Ivinghoe Review

The Lawn playground in Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire is one of those ones I’ve driven past dozens of times on the way to other day trips and thought “ooh, we should go there” but never got around to it. Now we’ve finally been to try it out. As well as the rec ground there’s a ping pong […]

Ladygrove Park and Playground Review

This review of Ladygrove park & playground only happened because I need to kill some time between finishing at Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary and Hubby’s train arriving at Didcot train station. I needed something to do with the kids that was close to the station and cheap. A quick google maps search brought up what […]

Haydon Hill Playground Review

The playground on the Haydon Hill estate in Aylesbury is one of the larger playgrounds and in July 2022 it had a complete refurb. It’s visible from the Bicester Road so I’d been keeping an eye on it, waiting for it to open, and it finally is. Middle Child is a bit annoyed about the […]

Bennett’s Recreation Ground & Splash Park Review

Ideally I would have liked to visit Bennett’s recreation ground to review the splash park but every time I went to go it had broken down! When was super annoying. And then some idiot set fire to the playground! It looks like all the teething issues have been sorted and the playground has been re-built […]

Dunsham Park Playground Review

The playground at Dunsham Park in Aylesbury was refurbished not that long ago and one of my followers recommended that I do a review. This is “only” a small, local playground but it’s quite a good one. The toddler area Quite a large area of the park is actually dedicated to younger children, and that’s […]
