Dunnington Playground is a favourite with local families and those visiting the village. Compact enough to keep an eye on little ones but packed with variety, it offers something for everyone from toddlers discovering sensory activities to older children seeking adventure.

Children can tackle climbing frames, race down the slides or zoom along the zip line, while parents and carers can relax knowing the playground is fully enclosed. The adjoining open field provides even more room for ball games, picnics and letting off steam.

Its location close to Dunnington's village amenities also makes it easy to combine a play session with a walk, a visit to the local shops or an exploration of the surrounding countryside.
