To be able to get up to the slide, you have to crawl through small holes which are very dangerous if you step backwards and forget that it's there.. I'm surprised it's been allowed. Also considering it's near Great Ormond Street Hospital, you would think it was more of an SEN friendly park. Such a shame.

Situated next to Alfresco and the West Pier on the seafront, it's a large playground that has climbing frames for different age groups from toddlers to 7 year olds, a sandpit and giant paddling pool. There's toilets and changing rooms, deckchairs for parents (at the cost of £2 if there's a deckchair attendant) and a wooden fence around the playground - reducing the chance of kids wandering off. The real life saver for parents however, is the fact there's three different cafes situated around the playground - so you can grab a much needed coffee, power-bar or frozen yoghurt at the same time.

Mums and dads can hire deck chairs and sit by the pool or grab some great coffee or snacks from the several cafes lining the playground.

Unfortunately, my kid and his friends found a dead bird in the middle of the playground. He was very intrigued and he even picked it up and was swinging the stinky thing around to show me. I know....don't ask... Obviously, I was mortified!! I told the staff about what happened and they weren't very surprised but they said they'll clean it up. Last week we went again and guess what, the bird was still there!! Totally unacceptable! The staff totally ignored that bird, the smell (ugh) or the fact that kids are playing next to a health hazard.

I think this is better for younger kids in your family - the lovely staff here will make them feel so welcome! The outside is very bright and colourful - there are sandpits and lots of play equipment. I think that it's restricted to children who live in the borough, as you have to register to use the park, but if there's room they welcome others! My friend's children love this place and I always enjoy bringing them here!

There are 3 tennis courts, a bowling club/green, formal gardens, a playground, open green space for ball games or picnics or lying in the sunshine, sculptures inspired by the Olympics and a trail about the day the Darleks visited - apparently it was a fantastic day! There are also markings around the path going round the edge of the park so you know how far you're running. The sun was out today and the park was busy but there is plenty of space for everyone. If you walk round the park you'll notice old plaques telling you what the trees are, others with bits of history about the park, such as when 1,000 people watched a windmill burn down in the park and the three years that a miniature railway ran round the park. There are toilets in the middle of the park near the playground and there was an ice cream van there today. The park is beautiful with so many different kinds of trees. At the moment there are lots of different blossoms out so the trees are an array of whites and pinks and look gorgeous.
