Oldbury Court Estate

Facilities and activities

Oldbury Court has an exciting new destination play area centred on a water and sand play zone with a pirate play ship. There’s also a new café kiosk with terrace seating providing refreshments.

Designed to be accessible for wheelchair users, the play area includes an accessible roundabout, seesaw and nest seat swing, amongst other equipment suitable for disabled children. There's also play equipment for toddlers, including toddler swings, springy seesaw, springies, toddler spinner and embankment slide.

Equipment for older children includes a dramatic rock feature with rope bridge, a slingshot, dish spinner, swings and zip wire.

The whole play area is fenced to be dog free and includes lots of natural play features including logs, boulders, a woodland den area, picnic tables and plenty of open grass to run around on.

Oldbury Court Play Area improvement works 

We’re sorry for the delay to Oldbury Court play area improvements.

Construction is now scheduled to begin in September 2025.

The planned improvements include:

• Bespoke accessible play ship
• Retained sand area with new sand play equipment
• Five/six-way swing with flat and accessible seats
• Three-bay swing with toddler, companion, and basket seats
• Viper (rope) swing
• In-ground trampoline
• Accessible carousel with net climbing
• Sensory play pieces
• Embankment climbing play, with ropes and climbing holds
• Educative and/or creative panel
• Horizontal gymnastic/parkour bars
• 2D and 3D graphic water-themed ground inserts
• Two table tennis tables

The plans have now been updated and unfortunately, don’t include water play as this wasn't possible in the budget available.

The intention is still to include more accessible play, equipment for a range of ages, and improved seating in line with the responses from the community engagement process.
