Great Notley Play Trail
“Essex's longest play trail, freshly expanded with new KOMPAN play equipment”
A 1.2km play trail loop through Great Notley Country Park on accessible, buggy-friendly paths, expanded in July 2026 with new KOMPAN equipment: an agility trail, a pendulum swing, sand play equipment, sensory boards and a 12m rope bridge, plus improved access to the sand play area. The trail also has climbing frames, swings, a zip wire, seesaws and slides, and a smaller toddler area with little wooden houses — equipment spans all ages. The water play area and climbing forest sections remain closed. A cafe inside the visitor centre offers a limited selection of cold food, drinks and ice cream, with toilets (including accessible and baby change) inside. Parking charges apply.
