Things to do for families at Haysden Country Park

At Haysden Country Park there are a wide variety of things to do, including walking, a children's play area, nature study, volunteering and a number of countryside related events.

Children's adventure play area

The cool adventure play area near the main car park, features a nicely nippy aerial runway, climbing structures with slides, and swings including a tyre swing. It's fairly traditional stuff but nice and sturdy. We think it's suitable for kids up to around 12.

Enjoy nature and wildlife

The numerous waterfowl, wild flowers and insects are prolific and interesting enough to facilitate mini beast hunts or botany spotting and a surfaced path allows easy access for all. There's also fishing and sailing to had at the freshwater lakes (provided of course one has the license etc) and the water's edge hosts a whole extra eco system of creatures in their natural habitats to study. We think kids will be fascinated!
