Due to Abbots Langley being primarily a residential area, there isn't a lot to do activity wise, however there are a couple of playgrounds and sports fields for public use.

  • Manor House Grounds Play Area, Gallows Hill Lane, WD5 0BX. This playground has swings and a helter skelter slide.
  • South Way Play Area, South Way, WD5 0JL. Opened in August 2012, the playground has climbing trees, a zip wire, embankment slide, toddler swings, rotator bounce, basket swings, a dish roundabout, trampoline, climbing net and a picnic area.
