Essex County Council have confirmed the re-opening on this park from Thursday 21st May 2020.

Enjoy over 500 acres of woodland, lakes, meadows, open grassland and spectacular views at Weald Country Park. The park is famous for its wildlife, including fallow deer, cattle, herons, mallard ducks and other water birds. It’s also home to the Stick Man play trail.

For a spectacular view, head up to the North of the park and use the Lincolns Lane car park. If you’d like the best hill for rolling down, go to the Belvedere car park. If you’d like to get a hot drink and an ice cream, come to the Visitor Centre car park.

The Stick Man play trail, designed by leading natural play specialists Infinite Playgrounds, brings to life the popular book by Julia Donaldson. The trail has been designed to maintain the historic parkland and its stunning views throughout. We hope that the trail will help children and their families enjoy challenging and imaginative play. It is free to use during park opening hours throughout the year.

Designated cycling paths are well surfaced and circle the woodlands, meadows and lakes.

The bridleway network creates a circular route around the woods and Top Park, with some beautiful views. You can free ride throughout Top Park. Cycle routes are shared with horse riders.

There’s plenty of space at Weald Country Park for your dog to run around and get some good exercise. With this in mind, we have taps and dog bowls throughout the park.
