Silloth Green – one of the best free play parks in North Cumbria

Park on the Green, Silloth

The Park on the Green was recommended repeatedly as a firm family favourite and with so much to do there it makes for a fabulous day out for all ages. Silloth Green has recently been awarded a Green Flag award for the tenth year running, a prestigious accolade that has only been given to four parks in the whole of Cumbria.

Avril Quinn visits regularly and told us, “Silloth has a great park which is very disabled friendly, and The Green is great with a huge expanse of grass to play on.”

What’s in the play area?

There is a woodland area situated within the pine trees which has an array of adventurous activity equipment including rope bridges and climbing frames all sympathetically woven amongst the trees. Aimed at children aged five and above there are plenty of surrounding picnic tables and a woodland walk.

For younger children there’s the Pirate Ship area featuring tunnels, a slide and a variety of upper and lower deck activities. One of the features that makes this park so popular is that is fully accessible for children with disabilities. The open plan design means that children of all capabilities can immerse themselves in imaginative games both inside and outside the ship.
