Information about this open space

Pope’s Meadow is a green haven in a busy, bustling world.  The park provides a place of tranquillity and offers a sense of history.  Located on the edge of Bracknell Town and Binfield village, Pope’s Meadow provides a valuable countryside resource for the local community. The site has been managed by Bracknell Forest Borough Council since 1985.  Designated as a Wildlife Heritage Site and originally part of Pope’s Manor grounds where the 18th Century poet Alexander Pope spent his formative years, the park has a rich cultural and landscape heritage.  This is managed sensitively in keeping with historical features whilst encouraging a wide diversity of wildlife.  The meadow, wood and pond guarantee stunning views and variety for the range of site users and wildlife alike.  These are complemented by a well-used toddler’s play area, interpretation board, picnic tables, orienteering course and football pitch.  An active events programme, walks, talks, volunteer conservation work and on-site Ranger presence help engage people from across the borough.  Community involvement is central to the park and its management, ensuring a healthy, safe and secure green space for open-air leisure.
