Great Hollands is the largest of Bracknell Town Council’s recreation areas. It has a range of facilities including a paddling pool, sports pitches and a play area.
The play area equipment includes: Around the edge of the field is a trim trail with various pieces of equipment like bars and rings. Some of the play equipment felt run down and had peeling paint, although nothing felt unsafe.
The Paddling Pool The paddling pool looked shallow and inviting when we arrived but unfortunately it had not yet opened for the day (it currently opens from 10am until 6pm). Paddling Pool Restrictions There are some restrictions on the use of the paddling pool – only children up to and including 8 years are allowed to use it before 5pm. The sign also says that children using the pool must be toilet trained. It did not say anything about children in swimming nappies. Coffee Shop and Facilities Next to it was a coffee shop that sells refreshments and has toilets. It opens during the weekends and school holidays. Sports Facilities There are lots of sports facilities including tennis courts (you can hire these at the cafe), table tennis, netball courts, cricket pitch, football pitches, a five-a-side football pitch, a kick about area, table tennis and multi-use ball courts.
