Dinosaur Island
To celebrate Southwater's dinosaur history – did you know a real iguanodon skeleton was found in the lake? – the Country Park’s adventure play area is dedicated to dinosaurs.
Follow the big dinosaur footprints from the Visitor Centre lake up to Dinosaur Island. Discover dinosaur bones in the sand, reach new heights on aerial walkways, swoop on jungle swings and climb all the way to the top of our bubbling volcano.
Musical instruments, dinosaur sculptures, a wheelchair-accessible roundabout and accessible ramps make Dinosaur Island fun for children with a wide range of abilities. There’s play equipment for bigger kids, too – head for the more challenging trails and climbing frames.

The adventure play area has dinosaur-themed equipment for a wide range of ages and abilities

Follow the footprints from the park Visitor Centre to Dinosaur Island, and look out for dinosaur sculptures in the park
