Frimley Lodge Park

New Playground Update

Please Note: The Frimley Lodge Park playground was open from lunchtime on 10th July 2010.

Unfortunately the telly tubby hills will remain fenced off until the grass has had an opportunity to take and with the dry weather forecasted, this section will remain closed.

Surrey Heath Borough Council's successful bid for £50,000 worth of grant funding comes from the government's national Playbuilder Scheme, which aims to encourage young people to get out and get active. For further information contact leisure.services@surreyheath.gov.uk

Frimley Lodge Park is a 24 hectare site that was saved from development in the mid 1980's.

The park won a design award on completion and has been much admired for its beauty and tranquillity.

Its unspoilt natural beauty and character continues to attract large numbers of visitors with opportunities for families with, woodland and lots of open space, picnic areas, two children's playgrounds, a trim trail, miniature railway and meadows. There are also football, cricket pitches and a pitch and putt course available to hire.

The Basingstoke canal runs along the eastern boundary with a towpath and lots of space, woodland, cafeteria, miniature railway and pitch & putt course.

Frimley Lodge Park is a very attractive venue for everyone looking for quiet recreation or organised activity. There is a resident Parks Officer and the Council's contractors provide fulltime attendance.

Our Parks Officer also works with volunteers and provides a programme of educational walks and events.

It offers an opportunity for all the local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy this beautiful park and get physically active into the bargain. We want to encourage people to jog or run together irrespective of their ability - this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is free!

Taking part is easy - just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun here. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there!
