Harrold Odell Country Park

About this activity

Harrold Odell Country Park in Bedfordshire is a wonderful choice for a family day out! The Park is situated in the village of Harrold in North Bedfordshire and is open throughout the year. Managed by Bedford Borough Council, it offers 144 acres of beauty and tranquillity. As a winner of the Green flag award for the 15th consecutive year, why not head there and take in the stunning views? Its main features are two picturesque lakes, river meadows alongside the River Great Ouse, a Nature Reserve and a range of managed habitats! Enjoy seeing which wildlife you can spot...

As if the views and wildlife weren't tempting enough, there's also two fun small play areas at each end! The first is for those aged 2 - 6 years old; it provides a multi-play unit with two slides, a ramp, ladders and mini climbing walls! In the same enclosure, children can use parallel bars, a fibreglass climbing boulder and a large chestnut log! The second play area for older children is closer to the woodland; there is a fun skate park and basketball ring! It also contains a witches-hat shaped roundabout & rope climb, a tunnel, a basket swing & multi-climb unit. So what are you waiting for? There's truly something for everyone and its the perfect place to burn off some energy.

As well as this, keep an eye on their website for special family events running throughout the year, such as Easter Egg Hunts. These are advertised via the website and in the park notice boards. Guided nature walks or pond dipping can be booked at £2 per head between April and September!
