Used as the location for some of the Harry Potter films, including Hagrid’s Hut and some shots of the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmede Station, Black Park Country Park is a magical place for a family adventure.
You can climb through the woods, run wild in the adventure play area or paddle around the lake’s worn and twisted tree stumps. You can also rent a bike or Segway, try orienteering and Go Ape.
The Emma Sallis Adventure Playground 
The shady Emma Sallis Adventure Playground has equipment for children under 12 years old that includes a wooden castle with a climbing wall, nets, a slide and easy to climb stairs, 
a multiplay with rope bridges, wobbly bridges, nets, a tunnel, easy to climb stairs and a slide, swings, a wooden train, springers and a balance course.
Film Locations Go Ape The Paths The Black Park website has full details of the trails and walks. Orienteering You can download a copy of the orienteering course before you go or pick one up from the visitors’ centre. The Cafes 
Black Park is located near to Pinewood Studios so it’s no surprise that the park has been used as the location for many films, including Harry Potter, James Bond, Stardust and Captain America. 
When we visited they were filming a secret jungle film, which meant some parts of the park were closed.
Go Ape at Black Park offers tree top rope courses, bike hire, Forest Segway and a Nets Adventure. 
There are several marked paths and trails to explore, including a habitat trail and an orienteering course. 
There are twenty posts hidden around Black Park – how many can you find? 
There is a lakeside cafe called the Black Park Cafe and a kiosk that sell snacks, drinks and ice creams. It also has picnic tables.
