Shropshire's Great Outdoors

Children’s Activities

Dive into adventure with our unique play areas and exciting holiday activities at Severn Valley Country Park!

Children’s play areas and family play trail

The centre piece of our river themed play area is a Severn Trow, which can be mistaken for a pirate ship! After you have enjoyed exploring our ship, have a go on the swings, roundabout, balance beams, wobble boards and climbing frames. From the play area, you can ‘follow the fish’ and visit all play equipment and wooden sculptures on our family play trail. (link to trail info)

The play area and family play trail were funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of the ‘Unlocking the Severn’ project which is opening up the river to allow wildlife freely move up and down it.

Don’t forget to visit our natural play area which boasts a sandpit, basket swing and rope bridge too!
