V36 Valley Park

Full Description

V36 Valley Park is a brilliant option when the children need plenty of room to play. The large play area is a real draw, but you can make more of the outing by exploring the park paths and looking out for sculptures along the way. There is lots of open space, so it works for a quick playground visit or a longer outdoor afternoon. It's especially handy when children of different ages want to do different things.

The playground is the big draw, but it's worth exploring beyond it. Follow the paths through the park, see which sculptures the wee ones can find and make use of the wide open spaces for running about or playing games. With room to spread out, it's a good choice if you have children of different ages or want to meet another family for a relaxed afternoon. Bring a picnic and you can easily stay much longer than you planned. The same site is home to Skate100, 14,000 square feet of skate park that the council describes as one of the largest in the UK and Ireland, with a floodlit 3G pitch beside it.

What You'll Find

The wider Valley Park has paths, green space and recreation areas that give families plenty of ways to get outdoors. You can keep the visit simple with a walk and run around or spend longer exploring the site.
