One of the gems in Shepton Mallet is Collett Park.
It's a very pleasant park with; playing fields, duck pond and stream, large green with a bandstand, some outdoor gym equipment, an aviary and two playgrounds (one for toddlers and the other for older kids). It's adjacent to some allotments, bowling green, tennis courts and some grazing sheep.
What makes it so notable for us is the early years playground as there is actually stuff that under twos, like Oscar, can go on. The climbing frame is cleverly seperated by a horizontal ladder that little legs can't reach across so even this frame is broken into two age groups and means that, once old enough to get across, there's more to explore and should keep kids entertained for longer.
Oscar loves it and unlike most playgrounds he can do more than just sit on the swing or scream because steps are too big for him to get up the slide...
