PLAY AREAS
THE LINNEY RIVERSIDE PARK
The Linney Riverside Park is a fantastic destination for family fun, offering beautiful surroundings by the River Teme, just behind Ludlow Castle. Opened in March 2012, the park features an exciting play area, picnic benches, toilets, and on-site parking.
The park also boasts a gated floating jetty, providing easy access to the river for canoeing enthusiasts.
Ludlow Town Council is proud to provide this wonderful amenity, made possible with the support of Shropshire Council, Friends of Linney Riverside Park, the Big Lottery, and Community Spaces. Their contributions have enhanced the park’s facilities, ensuring it remains a treasured space for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
Entry to the park is free, and the car park is open seven days a week, with a £2 fee for all-day parking.

LUDLOW AMATEUR BOXING CLUB & COMMUNITY CENTRE
The new home for the Ludlow Amateur Boxing Club was opened on the 19th September 2014 with an evening reception to thank all those who had contributed to the project. On the 20th September the Boxing Club welcomed members of the public for a look around.
The Town Council would like to thank all those who contributed, whether by donation or providing time and skills, without which the project would not have been possible.
Ludlow Boxing Club is situated in the top corner of Wheeler Road Playing Field - the new building will ensure future generations are able to enjoy the great oppotunities the Boxing Club offers young people in Ludlow.
