Good playground with sand under the sections. Wooden equipment including castle, boat, train etc, with slides and pipes for putting sand through! Lots of fun for my 2 and 6 year olds. One negative is that the playground is up several steps away from a lower area which used to have playground equipment for older kids, but it's now been removed - so there is a large bumpy tarmacced area that can easily be fallen over on! (My 2 year old did!). The playground is on the edge of the Oldbury Court Estate which is huge - loads of grass to run around on and there is a river running through the middle in the valley with paths along side for nice walks. Beware that there are no fences though so if you have little ones, I'd advise keeping them in the pushchair or on reins. There are ducks and moorhens to see. If you want a long walk you can walk to the other end of the Estate at Snuff Mills. The paths are all tarmacced and flat and easy for both pushchairs and wheelchairs. There are some other paths which are fun for older children (eg my 6 year old) and energetic/foolish grown ups carrying the little ones (eg me!)
