An active play area for visitors children to the Cambrian Heritage Railways new station at Weston Wharf.
An installation of various active play equipment on a newly created green space at the new station. This is to provide further attraction for families travelling on the Heritage trains in addition to the Brewery, Restaurant, Buffet car, picnic area, interpretation room and toilet facilities that have recently already been created. There is demand from visitors for enhanced provision for families at this destination.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Encourage families to dwell longer during their visit and feel the extra time spent was justified. Allow children to let off steam having just been confined in a public railway environment. To offer visiting school parties options for physical activities. To offer activity options for children's parties at the railway.
Steps to get it done:
We often host young visitors with special needs who would enjoy some physical activity in our unique surroundings.

We have just heard that with a very large pledge from Primoris Homes we have now reached our funding target to install a fitness trail on this green space at Weston Wharf Station. We will need to move the park bench and install some fencing but we hope to have it all ready for the summer season. Thank you to everyone who is donating to this project. We are sure the children will enjoy it!
Brilliant news, thanks everyone!
Whoop, 30 people have pledged since fundraising began!
Thanks to very generous pledges from Shropshire Council Green Spaces fund, Henstone and 27 other backers so far, we have now reached 90% of our target ! Thank you for your generosity. Cambrian Heritage Railways will be open all over the Easter weekend for anyone to come and see the area where we plan to install the trail. Seek me out at Weston Wharf and I will show you around and discuss our plans. Make the trip worthwhile by visiting the adjacent Stonehouse Brewery Bar & Restaurant while you are there! Regards and Many Thanks again, Dave Roll Station Manager, Weston Wharf

VolunteerCambrian Heritage Railways is Oswestry's leading tourist attraction. With it's main station in the centre of town, the line runs out to Weston Wharf where there are a couple of visitor attractions in the shape of Weston Pools Fishing and accommodation village and the adjacent Stonehouse Brewery and BBQ restaurant. The railway provides facilities for snacks. There are toilets and history interpretation at the Weston Station. A grass landscaped area adjacent to the platform has been provided to enable picnic tables and seating to be installed. Following comments and suggestions from customers, we now wish to add to this facility by providing some activities for young children.
