Kingsgate Park Yate – “The Fat Duck Adventure Playground”

Great for: Older children, feeding the ducks, scooting, water play, all ages, picnics.

Yesterday we found another absolute gem of a playground in Yate. It’s got everything you could want. It has amazing equipment for all abilities, catering amazingly well for older children.  It has a lovely pond with ducks to feed, though they weren’t hungry.  It has an amazing looking cafe  with top reviews on tripadvisor though we didn’t get to try as we’d been organised and bought a picnic and when we went to check it out for a hot chocolate the queue was a bit too long for us – must be a good sign though. There’s also a fabulous looking water play area which is not yet open but we shall return to check it out. It even has toilets though I use the term in the loosest sense as they were disgusting (the toilets in the cafe are apparently much nicer but there was a big queue).

It was a bit of a challenge keeping an eye on three kids in the enormous play area by myself but it was worth it! We had a fantastic day out.

Properly challenging equipment for older children.

Beautiful pond with overfed ducks

This waterplay area looked amazing. We’ll definitely be back to check it out.

This little river (currently dry) has damns to play with. It looks amazing

A very unattractive picture of the playground but it shows some of the equipment for little ones which my 3 year old really loved.

Properly challenging monkey bars!

Cafe! It looked really lovely and gets fantastic reviews.
