We've talked before about the wonderful facilities for both children and adults at the Raby Bay Esplanade parkland at Ormiston, which nestles Raby Bay. With both playground and exercise equipment, undercover picnic tables, gas barbeques and access to the waterways if you're up for throwing a line in, this spacious area ticks a lot of boxes for locals of all ages.

Guess what? A recent addition to this parkland is proving a huge success for youngsters on bikes and scooters, with a specialised playground area that caters for wheels instead of feet.

The 200m long circuit includes features to keep our young ones alert - a jump, round-about, traffic lights, speed humps, road signs, and road markings. I cannot tell you how many kiddies I witnessed at play expending energy and having great fun mid school holidays.

More importantly, there is now an ablutions block in close proximity with a refill station for water bottles.

We witnessed many families scattered around the parklands with their picnic rugs and hampers and losing a couple of hours in the fresh air. Touch wood they are rewarded with kiddies that sleep well!
