Wickham Park Playground: Flying Fox, Climbing Equipment & More

A large climbing structure, a flying fox and even a boat makes Wickham Park a fun playground for kids. Wickham Park is a cool little park tucked away in the streets of Wickham. It’s a lovely shaded park that is definitely worth a visit.

Although younger kids will enjoy digging in the sand, this is a park best suited for kids 3 and older due to the choice of play equipment in our opinion.

There’s plenty of climbing equipment, a flying fox and a flying saucer group swing.
