Cassiobury Park
General description
There is lots to do with children in Cassiobury Park and most of it will cost you absolutely nothing! As well as acres of space for a kick-about or kite-flying there are facilities provided by the local council.
Paddling Pools Playground (2009) [A]
It is suitable for children up to the age of 14 and contains swings, numerous climbing frames and slides, a granite stone maze and even a trampoline and zip wire!
Cha Cha Cha Playground
Smaller than the Paddling Pool Playground this playarea located directly alongside the Cha Cha Cha cafe and arts centre caters for younger children and toddlers upto the age of 6. An enclosed grassy area contains picnic tables with toilet facilities and refreshments available in the cafe.
Paddling Pools
Three pools of varying size and depth are open daily between 10am and 7pm from Good Friday to mid September. Entry is free and toilets and refreshments are available in the adjacent buildings. The paddling pools are located alongside a recently rebuilt playground and are near to the miniature railway.
Miniature Railway (£1 per person)
The 10.25 inch gauge miniature railway has over half a kilometre of tracks and a variety of steam and diesel locomotives. Services run on weekends, bank holidays and in school holidays throughout the year. For history and locomotive information see Miniature Railway World.
Bouncy Castle (charge applies)
At weekends in the summer a variety of bouncy castles can be found at this location.
Paddling and Fishing by the Rustic Bridge
The River Gade, which flows through the park, is shallow enough to paddle in around the Rustic Bridge crossing which leads to the Grand Union Canal. The bridge itself is adorned in animal carvings and if you take along a net you can try to catch a fish in the slow-flowing waters. This area is also popular with dog-walkers.
The car park is signposted from the centre of town and Rickmansworth Road with brown tourist information signs. Parking is free but is limited to about 120 spaces. In the summer an extension is opened to enlarge the carpark, however on good weather weekends this will often be full.
