5 Best Outdoor Playgrounds in Yorkshire

Find Out What’s in Stockeld Park’s Five Action Packed Playgrounds 

Going to the playground as a kid was the best part of our day. Come rain or shine; our younger selves would never say no to some quality time outside. Now, as adults, we have the opportunity for our children to make the same memories.

Playgrounds are not only places to get active but also safe spaces where kids can improve their mental, emotional and social skills. This type of outdoor play is crucial for children's development, so get your kids ready as we head outside! 

In this blog, we round up the best playgrounds at Stockeld Park that your family can enjoy all year round. 

Teepee Encampment: Best for Imaginative Play 

As you enter the Enchanted Forest, you’ll see the Teepee Encampment, playfully designed as a wild-western American Indian encampment. There are three teepees to explore, each featuring slides, ladders and climbing nets for your kids to clamber.

Take your kids back in time as they immerse themselves in the world of cowboys and American Indians. Hide under the teepees and share stories of the Wild West, or start your own tribe as you climb each base. 

Tangle Tree Climb: Best for Climbing 

Kids are a curious bunch, and nothing gets them exploring quicker than climbing into new spaces! Don’t expect your children to sit still when they visit the Tangle Tree Climb - their inner Tarzan will come bursting through!

This mini obstacle course has lots of climbing nets, bridges, and tightropes, which will put your kids' balancing skills to the test. Why not make it a friendly competition and see who can complete the course first? Set your timer and go! 

Woodsands Cove: Best for Sand Play

Woodsands Cove is a perfect pitstop during your magical stroll through the Enchanted Forest. This beach-themed playground includes a huge sandpit, perfect for your little ones to play and build castles. 

Climb up on Noah’s Ark and the pirate ship to see what sea monsters lie ahead, and take the wheel as you sail the sea. Once you’ve made port, slide down to the beach and feel the wind through your hair as you ride the Viking swing and bouncy animals. 

Spider’s Lair: Best for Thrill Seekers 

A huge, friendly spider has taken over our magical forest with a nest of adventures waiting to be uncovered. The Spider’s Lair has plenty of climbing nets, tunnels, jungle bridges and even two zip wires for those who love a thrill! 

Our spider means no harm, but don’t get on her wrong side, or you’ll get caught in her web! Grab your kids and go hand-in-hand as you climb through the spider’s lair. 

Farmer Foster’s Barnyard: Best for Pretend Play

Our rural farmyard-themed playground immerses your little ones in country life as they look after a busy barnyard. Farmer Foster is too busy to look after the farm, so your kids will need to help in the henhouse and take trips on the big wooden tractor. 

Once the farmwork is done, head to the slides and swings for fun! 

Looking for an indoor play area? The Playhive is one of Europe’s largest indoor playgrounds, featuring four magical adventure worlds.
