- a spinner that you dangle under
- a climbing frame with nets and nests of baskets.
Next to the play area is a basketball court, football pitch
The Blackwater River
The River Blackwater flows along the edge of the field, followed by Section 2 of the Blackwater Valley Path, which is surfaced so you can ride, scooter and walk along it.
To find the Blackwater River, follow the path across the field to the tree line where there is a little bridge.
Rowan Field
If you cross the bridge and a walk a short distance in either direction along the Blackwater Valley Path, you come to the entrance to Rowan Field.
This is a nature reserve split in half by the A331.
