ORCHARD PARK – KIDLINGTON
Orchard Park has had a refurb. Rubber flooring throughout is great so it’s not going to get churned up and muddy and also more wheelchair / pushchair accessible.
Variety of swings – traditional, baby, accessible swing, nest swing and even a double one which would be perfect for a baby and toddlers to go on together (or in my case a 6 and 10 year old).
Little ones climbing fame
Slightly bigger kids climbing frame with a slide
Drums and music making
Activity board
Seesaw style rocker
No parking (free parking on residential roads) and no toilet facilities or cafe. It’s a lovely little park if you’re local.

Fairytale Farm
If you’ve got a dinosaur fan then you need to head to, Oxfordshire for their Once Upon A Dinosaur event this half term.
They’ve got Jurassic trail activities, meet the dinosaurs, uncover fossils in the Dino dig, a Dino disco, crafts and more!
We really enjoy Fairytale Farm, especially for under 10s. It isn’t too huge but there’s still plenty to do. My favourite thing is the rubber duck racing! The site is buggy/wheelchair friendly and has lovely sensory garden too. It’s ideal for SEND children and those with disabilities too as it’s been purpose-built to be accessible for all. You can read more in our full review below.
