Living in Milton Keynes, we may be a good couple of hours from the seaside, but that doesn’t mean to say the kids can’t enjoy building sandcastles. There are a number of parks in MK and Bedfordshire that I have already featured which have sandpits. They include the Wixams Parks, Brooklands Park and the Pirate Park in Loughton. Our latest discover is a park in New Bradwell – I’m not sure what it’s actually called, but for the purposes of this blog it’s New Bradwell Sandpit Park. It has a sandpit and play area. My toddler loved digging there and was rather taken by the ‘rocket’ which he enjoyed sitting in and preparing to fly to the moon. You can read all about it in my latest blog post.

I'm Laura, mum of two boys - aged six and four. I started this website at the end of Sept 2015 whilst on maternity leave. I now work four days a week and do this blog late at night once the little boys are sleeping. It's won several awards over the last four years and I continue to run it for free and mostly focus on free, cheap, and good value days out. Do drop me an email laura@miltonkeyneskids.com if you want to contact me. Don't forget to follow all of our latest adventures on facebook, instagram and twitter and have a look at all of the videos of the places we visit on the Milton Keynes Kids YouTube Channel - subscribe to it for notifications every time I add a new place. And remember... you may been reading this post months after we visited, do check with the destination you're visiting for up to date opening times and prices. If you find this blog useful then please do comment on my posts and leave me a Facebook review - it makes doing this all the more worthwhile.
