Woodheys park has always been known locally as Pinkey park.  The name originated from pigs from neighbouring farmland often coming across into the park.

The farmland has gone but Pinkey park lives on in the form of the Pinkey park childrens play area within Woodheys park.  At the heart of the philosophy between Woodheys park and the friend’s group is that this park should be enjoyed by the whole community, young and old.  A real family park. 

We are also looking at extending the opening times for the February half term next year and possibly into October at the end of the present season dependant on weather.  The golf course is a particularly nice area of the park which adds character and is used to attract a diverse demographic into the park.  With reductions offered for pre-bookings by clubs and social groups we actively encourage the local community to take full advantage of the course.

From small snowdrops and daffodils to ornamental grasses and shrubs this popular walk has different varieties of plants its’ whole length.

We have a woodland trail which snakes it’s way round and through one half of the woods. This wood is mainly willow and as such is marshland encouraging many different animals and birdlife into the park. Foxes, Squirrels and Barn owls are just some of the regular visitors spotted from our woodland trail on a regular basis.
