Play area

The Country Park has a large, well equipped play area with a medieval city – 8m tall, railway-themed play equipment, large sandpit area, plus the usual swings, slides and roundabouts.

The play area is a very popular facility and was refurbished in 2014 and will be again in 2023. We asked parents and kids what they wanted to see - which is why it's such a hit.
