Vale Park

Vale Park is a lovely area for little legs to run around until they can no longer. There's plenty of space for picnicking and family games so bring along the kite, frisbee, bat, ball, walkie talkies or whatever else you can carry! During your visit you can have a crack at some of the facilities like tennis courts, playgrounds, a multi-use games area and even a bowls green.

There's also a skate park facility with ramps and half pipes, but the park is planned out spaciously so it remains a gorgeously green and tranquil spot. The playground is suitable for children between the ages of 2 and 12 years, while a 'teen' play area caters for kids from 13 upwards. You've got all sorts of the usual gubbins here like slides and climbing frames, with a Ninja Warrior feel to them.

Ideal for getting kids their exercise and fresh air plus great for making new friends and socialising. Sat just next to the park is Aqua Vale Swimming and Fitness Centre complete with an outdoor pool, leisure centre, competition pool and gym, so there's a pleasant way to extend your day right next door. Just don't forget your cozzies!

Note for satnav users: the postcode is for the leisure facility which is just adjacent.
