Fordingbridge Recreation Ground Playpark — Attraction in New Forest

A little gem, perfect for a day out with the grandchildren. 1st you have the park a fairly large park really has most things a normal park has a a could of playthings I haven't seen for a long time. 2nd the cafe a little expensive but nothing to bad, sells hot and cold snacks, from cakes to bacon bottles, a full range of drinks and multiple size cups from milkshakes to lattes they also sell chips and a few sweets.

Very well kept playground area with a little café for snacks, drinks and ice cream (New Forest). Just beside a memorial area with roses is a skating park.
