Bulmershe Park

The Park is situated off Woodlands Avenue on the boundary between Woodley and Earley and is jointly managed by the two Town Councils.  Entrance is usually gained from Pitts Lane.  More of its area is within Woodley, and historically, Woodley Town Council have undertaken routine grasscutting and other maintenance and our Council meeting a proportion of the costs each year.  This arrangement has been in place for a number of years and works well.

Collins Drive 

In July 2023, Earley Town Council took ownership of Redhatch Copse and some of the open spaces on the Collins Drive development.

On Thursday 8^th August 2024, Mayor of Earley, Cllr Mike Smith, officially opened the newly transformed Collins Drive Play Area with local residents joining in the celebration.

After consulting with residents, we were able to put together a detailed specification, and it was Proludic who were selected to bring this to life. Their design offered so much variety whilst staying true to the community feel of the site, and their selection of materials were natural in appearance but built to last.

The new play area features: a climbing frame with slide, a selection of swings, a roundabout, a balance beam, a seesaw, a springer, a climbing hut and play panels. Additionally, the surfacing has been renovated, improved seating installed and the fence replaced. The play area now provides an inviting, fun and safe space for toddlers and young children to play, learn and develop.

Some of grass verges and footpaths within Collins Drive are maintained by Wokingham Borough Council.
