What it’s like

A big open park with a play area and a Nature Club, plus a Saturday café run by park volunteers.

There's a play area for the kids to head straight for, and a Nature Club running alongside it if yours are the sort who'd rather be poking about in the undergrowth than queuing for a slide. It's all outdoors, so this is one for a dry-ish day or wellies rather than best shoes.

The Pavilion Café is run by the Friends of Sinfin Moor Park, which is a nice touch, but it's only open on Saturdays from half ten to two. Turn up on a Tuesday and you're on your own for snacks, so pack accordingly if you're coming midweek.

Parking's free and on-site, which takes one worry off the list, and the park is wheelchair accessible with toilets on hand. Bank holiday hours shift about a bit, so it's worth a glance at the noticeboard if you're planning around one.
