Lower Leas Coastal Park

Split into three zones, The Wild Zone, The Fun Zone and The Formal Zone - the Lower Leas Coastal Park has the largest adventure play area in the South East and it's also free too! Kids can run around all day and play on the rocking boats, climbing walls, zip lines and traditional slides. There is also an enclosed toddler construction area which has slides and a shipwreck play-structure. Bring along tasty treats and enjoy on the picnic furniture and if it's a nice day why not buy some burgers and sausages and cook on the special steel barbecue plates fitted to tables in areas where barbecues are permitted.
