Telford Town Park — Attraction in Stirchley and Brookside

Brilliant place, had lots of fun. Met Santa, Mrs Claus and many others. Ruined a little by a lady from Rainbow Facepaints. They had a sign for facepainting to ask for seasonal facepaint, or traditional designs such as spidermanor anything else. My son was set on Darth Vader, but the lady didn't know how "so I'll just do the Grinch", she said, whilst my niece was having Batman. My son, who is 6, asked for Iron Man instead, but the lady said "no, let's just do the Grinch". I could see my son welling up. Her colleague shouted over and offered to do Iron Man if we waited, at which point the first lady basically stormed off outside, making it clear that "it's because they haven't had a break today" and her "head was spinning". I calmed my son down, because at 6, why would you understand the issues of a middle aged woman not being able to cope with being asked to do a design she was unfamiliar with, despite having a sign to ask for anything...? The 2nd lady did a great job, but the experience was marred by the attitude of someone who clearly doesn't like children....or at least, not at 15:30 on a Sunday afternoon when she'd had enough of painting the faces of children who were looking to her for a little more excitement. Wonderland itself, however, was great....just don't bother asking The Grinch's sister to...

Lots of them stores are closed or not working, some places are not available to reach (from lower setlement to a place number 6. High above in the corner, through forrest - heavily floodied). The experience kind a average, I liked them fish and chips from there but the oil wasn't changed for a while, but the price was decent. Some building had no signs what they are about, so You could be waiting in a line (Covid-19) for a long borring time (2 people allowed to be inside) and even servants/guys who work there think it is hard to maintain the social distant and just simply generaly to show and tell stories about it. Becouse no signs- you might be waiting for an hour in a line by not knowing what you are about going to listen to. I liked how guys were doing horse shoes on live but It was comical to see how they pulled with the car in there. It should not be like that by a place trying to maintain the atmosphere of old times! I did not looked like it was happening 200 years ago or so. I do not see why it should cost 20£ for an adult ticket (should be 27£??? Without discount) and 3-5£ for parking, so for a couple it is about 45£ + cafe/food(10-20) =65£ for a quite average experience . In my opinion how this place is being maintained is quite average (been to better places similar to this, would give 2...

I grew up in the town, so know it very well. Telford Town Park is acknowledged as one of the best for entertainment, features and great for family and kids, not just in the West Midlands, but nationally.

It has Green Flag recognition six years running, which is a mark of quality. It's not a sales line, it's a statement of fact, but if you think Iam biased, visit for yourself.

The park has at least two duck ponds, climbing frames, climbing bouncy tight ropes etc It's open from early up to 8/9pm Monday to Saturday. Closed slightly earlier Sunday.

It's right next to Telford Town Centre with plenty of different shops to buy from and walk through several acres of scenic park landscape. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed. Update, I went over the bank holiday (end of May) with other family members. It has changed quite a bit, but to add improvements. Security cameras have been added, so you will feel quite safe and reassured allowing your child to play on the play frames etc. More miniature construction machinery in the sand pit, the climbing frame like a tree is slightly pricey, but a good experience. These are just a few, don't take my word for it, come down for yourself, you won't be...
