CHILDREN’S PLAY AREA
This is a safe enclosed area in which children can play. It includes an activity centre and space for other ball games on the lawned area. The floor of the activity centre is made from ‘Enviromulch’ which is manufactured from recycled pallets and is able to cushion any falls. Children using this area should be supervised by an adult at all times.
THE LIBRARY
There’s a small library within the Park Office that contains a selection of both adult and children’s books, videos and DVDs. Please feel free to borrow any of these but do not forget to return them.
LAUNDRY
Our laundry is open throughout the season. We have three washers and three dryers available. Tokens can be purchased from the Park Office.
DOG WALK
At Merlewood we have specially created a Dog Walk for you to use. More details are given in our blog.
There are also numerous excellent walks particularly along the riverside. Many of our owners enjoy a drink at one of the local pubs like the White Bull which welcomes dogs.
DOG SHOWER
If you have been out for a walk with your dog along the river, the last thing that you want is dirty paws being walked into your home. The new Dog Shower has a controlled temperature to give your pet a comfortable wash and is located next to the Park Office and open for use at all times.
WALKING AND CYCLE ROUTES
If you enjoy getting out into nature then you’re in luck! From your doorstep you’ll discover a number of walking a cycle routes around Merlewood Country Park. We’ve even provided a copy of a local route for you to download and take with you. Please see below.
