The park is on the outskirts of East Williamston and is made up of 15 acres of parkland and nature trail, established in 2002. The site was originally agricultural land, purchased from a local farmer with the aid of grants. The park was founded to provide an environment where local people could enjoy their natural surroundings, to preserve a rural heritage for future generations and to provide a safe place in which children might play.
The Park was officially opened in November 2007 by TV wildlife presenter Iolo Williams. Joined by local school children he sampled the delights of the new adventure playground before he officially opened the park and ceremonially planted a tree. There is a plaque commemorating his visit at the tree he planted in the central field. On 1st June 2013 we unveiled a plaque to commemorate the park’s membership of the Queen Elizabeth II Playing Fields in Trust, which will ensure that it remains an open space for people’s enjoyment of leisure activities for the next hundred years.
The central area is an open field, with a fenced children's playground of rustic climbing equipment at one side, providing an ideal environment for family recreation. There are picnic tables and benches and an information board. Paths lead to the other areas.
Wildflower meadows and a boardwalk over a marshy area make up the eastern end of the project. Dipping ponds can be found in the lowest part and a number of small streams run below the hedges. Several notice boards identify the birds, insects and flowers which may be found in the Park.
