A highly anticipated new woodland play area in one of the region’s most prestigious parks is now officially open, just in time for the school holidays.

Dudley Council unveiled its brand-new play area at Himley Hall and Park after a £500,000 investment.
Located near the former tennis courts and pavilion to the rear left side of the hall, the play area has lots of fun features for children and young people to enjoy.

There’s a large wooden play tower, including a spiral slide, rotating carousels, zip line, seesaws, rocking horses, and several swings.

Families visiting this summer will not only have the pleasure of the new play area, but the popular dinosaur and princess and pirate themed trails will return from Monday 22 July.

There’s also the fairy 50 activity where children follow coordinates on a map in the search for 50 hidden fairy doors. This activity is available all year round.

Activity sheets for the activities will be available from the Coffee Lounge in the main hall.
