Versatile park combining a fenced toddler playground, unfenced older-children area, woodland walks, a paddling stream, and large open grass for picnics and sport. Fully pram-accessible throughout.

🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children spanning a wide age range who want a full half-day outdoors without spending anything. The combination of structured playground, woodland, stream, and open grass satisfies different ages simultaneously. Dog density is high — factor that in if your children are nervous around dogs.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Arrive early on weekends — parking fills quickly with a reasonable-sized car park
⏰Bring picnic supplies — large shaded grass areas suit long family lunches
🎟️Stream area works well for nature play and paddling in warmer months
🚗Both playground zones are accessible with pushchairs

“Lovely place to walk. Woods, copses, large grassed area to play games or sit and chat. A stream to muck around in or a welcome drink for dogs. And a play ground - fenced for younger children and unfenced for older ones. Very popular with dog walkers because off road and safe.”

“Lovely walk! Be prepared to see many dogs, really cheered me up and just what I needed for the day 🙂 benches dotted around so plenty of seating areas to stop and take a breather. Only downfall; parking is difficult to find”
