Braywick Park and Sports Ground

Rifle Range Access Road Works - February - April 2010

Work is underway to refurbish the track that runs from Stafferton Lodge to the Rifle Range and parking area. The improvements will provide better access to vehicles and pedestrians and is part of the RBWM Council's commitment to improving the facilities within the park.

Plans were agreed following recommendations for the 2009 Green Flag judging. The work includes reconfiguring the road to allow better vehicle access, extending the paved footpath, resurfacing the road, new fencing and hedge planting. Street lighting is being installed along the road, also on the road leading past the rugby club and paths leading around the athletics track. This will provide a safer and more user friendly environment after dark.

The work is due to be completed by mid- April and is being funded by developer contributions.

Maidenhead Golf Centre - An Adventure Golf course is currently under construction adjacent to the Golf Range.

Braywick Park is the largest public open space in Maidenhead, covering 40 hectares to the south of the town centre. The Park has a fascinating history, with evidence of a roman road through the site, of ownership by Charles I, 18th and 19th century mansion houses on the site and more recently extensive mineral extraction, followed by landfill operations.

The Park is the main location for outdoor sports activities in the Maidenhead area, is a valuable nature conservation resource and houses Braywick Nature Centre, the focus for environmental education with the Borough.

With its 22 hectares of sports grounds and a range of quality sporting facilities, the Park provides a base for a number of clubs including rugby, football, archery, target shooting and athletics. The Park also houses WAMDSAD, the Windsor Ascot and Maidenhead Sports Assocation for the Disabled, and a Golf Centre.

A 15 hectare Local Nature Reserve provides a range of habitats for local wildlife and opportunities for casual recreation. The Nature Reserve is also a valuable educational resource used by the Rangers at Braywick Nature Centre, for a wide range of events and activities they run for the public, schools and youth groups along with other visitors.
