Snaprails Park is an attractive 3.5 hectare park located to the west of Owlsmoor in Sandhurst. The park provides an important recreation area as well as a through-route for many local residents.
We visited the children’s play area which is suitable for toddlers and juniors. This was newly refurbished last year (2022) and it is now a vibrant playground for the little ones to enjoy. The bright colours and new equipment were very appealing and we couldn’t wait to explore.
What’s at Snaprails Park For Kids?

It was also great to have lots of open grassy areas, a stream, a pond and native woodland to explore further. We enjoy combing a trip to the park with a little nature walk too.
We love taking down food for the ducks and watching them swim about. We also play poo sticks in the stream and have a race to see who’s stick will win the race. Such a simple free activity but keeps the children amused for a few minutes.
Snaprails Park also has:
- Picnic benches and seating areas
- Three footbridges, which enable access to the island over the lake
- A living willow tunnel in the Secret Garden
- A cycle way that passes through the central part of the site, linking Wellington Road with Sandhurst Sports Centre
- A selection of historic ornamental trees
This is a great place to spend the morning exploring or take a picnic with you and spend the day. There is lots to explore from the pond, the park or a walk in the woods. Or take a ball and have a little kick about too.
If you wanted to squeeze in another park visit on the same day, then about a 10minute walk away is another great park called Sandhurst Memorial Park.
