It's been fab to read through these reviews. The words 'very clean ' was mentioned often. Thank you 😊 Just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that this park is run and maintained by a small group of people ( my husband being one of them). They are all volunteers and work so hard to ensure everyone can enjoy their visit. So thank you for your positive comments and enjoy your summer 🌞

A stones throw from the beach and the cinema, as well as local bars and restaurants. We spent a whole day here.

Fantastic park with a good range of play equipment. We have been coming to this park for years, our daughter is 12 now but still enjoys coming here with her friends. The beach & pier are across the road & the Geo Park Cafe is well worth a visit.

Large, spacious park with a good variety of equipment much of which is suitable for older children too. Right on the seafront, surrounded by cafes and well worth a stop.

If you want to find a place for your children to burn off a bit of energy then Paignton Geopark is a perfect place.
There are plenty of places to sit for grown ups whilst your young ones make use of the climbing equipment, tunnels and frames.
There are also places to get something to eat and drink nearby.
It's only a short walk from the town centre and the beach.

Our kids enjoyed playing on the equipment here. Even though the weather wasn't entirely in our favour, they were able to enjoy themselves.
The area was clean and tidy and there weren't groups of teens hanging around making people feel uncomfortable.

It’s free! It’s got so much going on and it’s right by the beach. What more can you ask for? A brilliant park for the kids. We always go there when we’re down on holiday.

Had a guided tour for the Geopark from two professional geologists (though not locals) with loads or descriptions and information.

It's a free delightfully designed play space catering for all ages and sizes yes it can be busy but the space can cope with numbers I was with my grandchildren and saw no bad behaviour if there had been I would have said something
I wouldn't visit it after dark though 😂
