Coram's Fields

"The website sells this well but what you actually have is a large courtyard with a rectangle of grass containing various dilapidated sites of playground equipment that have seen better days. Visitors clearly treat it with the same neglect shown by the trustees as there were old cigarettes left in the children’s sand equipment on what is supposed to be a non smoking site. It’s all a bit sad really given the history of the site and Coram’s Field’s clearly needs some fundraising and an application for lottery funding. In the interim it could use a big clean."

"Nice lovely park, my sons loved it, spacious and clean. I was confronted by a man in yellow vest when I left my little boys to have a run around with their mum so I can take 2 mins for myself. He asked me my business at the park, abit embarrassing but I understand, till I pointed to my kids. So especially for men you will be asked to leave if you are not with your kids, so always hang around where your kids are to avoid embarrassment"

"This one is a favourite of ours. It is a little hidden but worth the find. Free entry. Huge spaces, football caged area, cafe, play area for the toddlers, under 10s and the tree house area for the overs, including an impressive climbing wall. You can spend hours here, if your children are different ages, theres bound to be a play area to suit them. Absolutely beautiful."

"Our little boy loved this park and the playground areas, especially the sand pit. Adults can only get in with children and we have seen 2 security guys patrolling the area during our visit to make sure the place is safe. Toilets and picnic tables are available. There is also a small café in the grounds but oddly it was closed at lunchtime and it opened at 3pm when we were about to leave. Considering the free entry, this place is a real gem."

"Nice spacious play area that is enclosed with a variety of play equipment, including swings, slides, roundabout, zip wire, sand pit, water area and more. Suitable for all ages, though majority would be for toddlers and younger children. Plenty of space to run around.There is also a basketball/netball court. No adults allowed without being there with children and no dogs can enter. In the early evening that we went, it was not overly crowded, so could use the facilities at leisure. Coram's Fields have a policy that they will close the Park at a time suited to them, so even though it was a bright day with no rain and the suggested closure time was 8, people were asked to leave at 7.15pm. Makes it difficult to plan your visit as there is no consistent closing time. Nonetheless it was an enjoyable time."
