Welcome to Our Family-Friendly Playpark

We’ve created a space here at East Scryne Fruit where kids can really let off steam — and grown-ups can relax with a coffee while they do! Our playpark is completely free for customers of the tearoom and farm shop, and the entire area is fully pedestrianised for safety with loads of outdoor benches, so you can enjoy your café treats while keeping an eye on the fun.

What’s here for the kids?

🍓 Giant Strawberry – A colourful photo opportunity you won’t want to miss

🍓 Giant Bouncy Pillow – Energetic bouncing fun

🍓 Straw Bale Castle – Perfect for climbing and imaginative play

🍓 Tunnel Slide – A fast favourite with little adventurers

🍓 Huge Sandpit – Thought to be the biggest in Angus, with plenty of toys

🍓 Basket Swing – Classic playground fun for all ages

🍓 Strawberry Cottage – A cosy playhouse for pretend play

🍓 Picnic Tables & Benches – Space for families to relax and refuel

Say hello to our resident miniature cashmere goats — Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom. They’re friendly, curious, and always up for a bit of attention! You can buy goat food in the shop to give them a little treat.

Relax While The Children Play

We’ve set things up so families can truly unwind. The tearoom and farm shop are just a few steps from the playpark, with loads of outdoor benches and a peaceful, traffic-free space to sit back with something tasty.

A friendly note:
All we ask is that you support the space by enjoying some food and drink while you’re here.

Grab Something for the Road

Before you head off, swing by the farm shop for a punnet of berries, some freshly picked produce, or a hot drink for the journey.
