Southwood Country Park Cafe & Field Centre — Attraction in Rushmoor

The cafe and playground are an invaluable and much-needed asset to Southwood Woodlands; for families, friends and dog-walkers alike.

Dog-friendly, the cafe has water bowls and lots of seating outside. Playground is for 12s and under. Under 3s to be supervised. A good range of equipment for young and older kids. Swings, 2 slides, roundabout, zip line, logs, climbing ropes, fireman's pole etc.

The visitors centre has a cafe inside called Chalk in the Park which we visited. Although it seems quite expensive at first, the cakes we had were delicious and the menu looks amazing.

Toilets were clean and again, much needed in the area. We look forward to seeing what else the visitor centre has to offer for schools etc...
