Braywick Park and Sports Ground is located on the A 308 Braywick Road, Maidenhead. For location details please use the following link: Braywick Road

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.
