The Leys playground, Stanton Harcourt

The Leys playground, Stanton Harcourt

Date of Adventure: 22 May, 2023

I love a park, but park on a sunny day beats everything!

The Leys in Stanton Harcourt (not to be confused with The Leys park in Witney!) has serious adventure playground/ obstacle course vibes as one continuous piece of apparatus interconnects with bridges, balance beams, a slide, fireman’s pole, nets, climbing wall and more! There’s also a stand up seesaw, swings and balance logs, a spinning bowl, springers and a big wooden tractor and trailer – plus a picnic bench. My friend and I had 5 boys with us, between 4-10 years old, and they could all manage the equipment with the little one just needing a bit of hand holding for the balance logs.

I’m not massively familiar with this area but it seemed like part of a bigger local walk as lots of people were passing by with dogs or just ambling through. Its also quite well hidden; I don’t think I would have found it if I hadn’t been told where it is, Stanton Harcourt’s best kept secret it seems!
