Open Field
Open space for games, events, and group activities.
Service Description
The Open Field Area at CRAI is a flexible, multi-use outdoor space designed for group activities, and large-scale games. With plenty of flat ground and natural surroundings, it provides the ideal setting for everything from sports and team challenges to creative outdoor projects. Groups can customise the space to suit their needs — whether that’s running wide games for scouts, hosting youth activities, staging outdoor team-building exercises, or simply using it as a base for day activities. The field offers ample room to spread out and create unique experiences tailored to your group. This space is particularly popular with schools, scout camps, and corporate teams who want an adaptable area for free play, challenges, and gatherings. Its size and flexibility mean it can be booked as a stand-alone activity area at CRAI. When booking the open field for a day, this will also give you access to the toilet facilities at the park. The open field is the perfect canvas for outdoor fun — giving every group the chance to shape their own adventure. Important: Please choose your activity length and correct pricing band honestly. You may be asked to provide proof of your community group. Failure to do so could result in additional charges. • CRAI – CRAI Scout Groups within the CRAI District. • Scout & Guides Groups – Scouts, Guides, and Non Profit Youth Organisations. • All other Groups – General bookings for Schools, clubs, corporate teams, and the public.
