Questions parents ask
- Is Popes Meadow manageable with a buggy and children of different ages?
- The meadow is an open grassy slope, which should be pushable with a buggy, though the terrain will be uneven in places. The connected woodland area and Bells Close playground are also part of the wider People's Park, offering variety for different ages to explore together.
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- This depends on what you do. The playground at Bells Close and the open meadow can occupy young children for an hour or two, while older children may enjoy exploring the woodland and using the trim trail for longer.
- Is there anywhere to eat at Popes Meadow?
- We haven't confirmed a café at Popes Meadow, so you may want to bring a picnic to enjoy on the open meadow.
- Does it work in bad weather?
- The playground at Bells Close is uncovered, so wet weather will make it less appealing. However, Popes Meadow's open slope is manageable in light rain, and the woodland offers some shelter from showers.
