Official Guide to North Walsham 2023-2024

64 North Walsham Town Guide
War Memorial
A small area close to the Oak Tree Sculpture holds the town’s War Memorial, which bears the names
of those who died during the Great Wars. With seats and a small lawn the area is a place for peaceful
contemplation away from the busy park. This area also includes memorials to Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Philip unveiled in 2022.
Trackside
The Trackside Park is situated opposite the train station entrance on Norwich Road. Completely
fenced this park is a safe area for children to run and play on new equipment installed in late 2022
including swings, trim trail, slides, a climbing wall as well as a dog exercise area and skatepark.
Dog Park
In one corner of the Trackside Park, an area has been fenced and double gated to provide a safe
place for dogs to run off lead. A perfect area for training recall or just letting your dogs play. Dog
bins are provided so please clear up after your dogs.
Skate Park
North Walsham has had a Skate Park within the town for over 20 years. In late 2020 North Walsham
Play spearheaded a campaign to raise £200,000 to replace the much loved facilities. The new Skate
Park was opened in Feb 2022 and is now one of the region’s most sophisticated and comprehensive
parks with elements for skateboarders, BMX cyclists and those on scooters. In the Autumn of 2022
flood lights were also added allowing the hours of usage to be extended. Light is free of charge and
is turned on via a simple press button. Lights will work between dusk and dawn. The Skate Park
offers something for people of all ages and abilities and is located on Trackside, very close to the
town centre and the train station.
Woodville
The park at Woodville is an open greenspace
found on the Lynfield Estate, near the bypass.
A hidden gem, the park is accessible from
Northfield Road and Hadfield Road and has
goal posts and swings for families to use.
Children’s Play Area
In the Centre of Woodville is the Children’s
Play Area which is perfect for younger
children. The Play Area was acquired through
fundraising by North Walsham Play, and
opened in 2017 featuring a basket swing seat, inclusive roundabout and plenty of colourful games
for little ones to play.
Other Parks
Other, smaller parks with play equipment can be found dotted around the town such as Stanley
Road, Hornbeam Road, Chestnut Avenue and Nelson Road/Sadler’s Wood.
