Schools Out

School’s Out!

BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BORING!

Making plans to entertain your children over the Summer Holidays may seem like a daunting task but fortunately Berkshire Mummies is on hand to help – and not everything you do has to cost a fortune. Parks and playgrounds are a popular choice for a low cost/free family trip out. California Country Park* and Dinton Pastures* have a wide range of play equipment for all ages, picnic areas, refreshments and walking trails around the lakes.

Other play areas which are worth visiting are Elms Field and The Pinewood Centre and we also recommend the new Cantley Park Play Area – the interactive elements are impressive and sure to be a big hit! If you travel outside Wokingham, The Look Out* in Bracknell is a lovely place to spend a few hours – the play area is large and free to use and you can also walk/go den building in the forest. Finchampstead Baptist Church (FBC) not only has a vast play area but there is also a games area with a running track (great for scooters

and bikes) and mini football pitches, plus a woodland walk.

Children love water play and splash pads make for a fun few hours of entertainment! California Country Park’s* paddling pool can get busy so you will need to book a slot in advance for a small fee. You could also visit Christchurch Paddling Pool in Reading, Woodford Park’s Paddling Pool, or the splash pad at Great Hollands Pavilion in Bracknell. Jocks Lane in Bracknell has a lovely bright splash pad as well as a play area and café.

A walk is a great way to help children burn off some energy – but it doesn’t have to be boring! Try geocaching – all you need is the app on your phone. Or orienteering – you can download a map on the Dinton Pastures website which takes you on a course around the country park. You could also follow the Mosaics Trail next time you are walking around Wokingham town (simply download the free Wokingham Town History App to get you started).

These are just a few of the highlights that Wokingham has to offer for children this Summer – please do follow Berkshire Mummies for even more inspiration.
