Explore a 3-hectare town centre park featuring a dedicated children's play area for ages 3-8, skate park, sports courts, and scenic walking paths.

Kidwells Park is a versatile 3-hectare public park located in Maidenhead town centre, gifted to the town in 1890. The park welcomes families, visitors, and sports enthusiasts with a diverse range of facilities suitable for all ages. Families with young children will appreciate the dedicated children's play area designed for ages 3-8, offering safe recreational opportunities. The park also features the Matrix skate park, which accommodates skates, skateboards, scooters, and BMX bikes, making it ideal for older children and teenagers. Three tennis courts are available for booking through ClubSpark, alongside netball and football courts for those interested in organized sports. Beyond recreation, Kidwells Park offers peaceful spaces including a World War 1 memorial garden, seating areas, and well-maintained surfaced paths with lighting. A walk around the park's perimeter contributes 1,140 steps toward daily fitness goals. The park is open at all times and hosts community events through the Maidenhead Festival, which is based at the park and organizes activities including outdoor cinema screenings, live bands, and stalls.

Plus side: Family freindly Down side: The tennis court now has to be paid for. The football courts are un usable. No carpet. It's rough tarmac. Hardly used anyway so it's such a waste.

Visited Maidenhead Festival (July 2023). A free festival with live music, food stalls, funfair, kids activities and more. Great place to visit. Free entry... free music, each other activity on a pay per play basis.

Kidswell Park is quite interesting and varied. As well as a very good, colourful and well designed children's play area there is a water fountain feature as part of a landscaped garden. You will also find a good sized skate park, a ww1 remembrance garden and several ball courts.

This is a nice place to come relax (in the summer atleast 😀), take a walk, jog or run. There’s a play area for kids and tennis and volleyball court. You can also bring your dog for a walk. It’s always clean and well maintained.
