Box End Park

A variety of activities available to burn off some energy!

A great venue for open water swimming, off road cycling and running, plus a number of watersports with courses just for kids and beginners.

If you and the kids like to walk, run or cycle, there is a 5km course to follow.

The course is off road and on rough grass so you need to pay attention while you cycle. Please also be careful to avoid the north of the site, as this is where the shooting and archery range is located.
Swimming is on offer in the Cable Tow lake, but swimmers need to be able to manage at least 800 metres, unaided. You will always have to swim with a buddy too as there are no lifeguards, although a safety observer patrols the edge of the lake and can raise the alarm.

For children aged between 10 and 16, Kids Cable Tow sessions are available. Under 10s can take advantage of one to one sessions on the boat lake, with a chance to try a skim board, a wakeboard or skis (with a training bar to improve the attempt).
