– Users of this facility do so at their own risk –
The Little Wilbraham Multi Use Games Court is provided for the enjoyment of the residents of the Wilbrahams and Six Mile Bottom and other users when available.

If you are interested in forming any team games please let us know.
The court has no flood lights or drinking fountains so you will need to bring your own refreshments.

We hope you enjoy your new games court.
Location
The court is located on the Ken Davison Reserve in Little Wilbraham. Access is via Orchard Close off the High street and there is a small car park located adjacent to the reserve. Please do not park in Orchard Close – use the car park. Residents are urged to walk to the court where possible and to only use a car as a last resort.
This reserve also has a small play area with a swing, climbing frame, slide, roundabout, basket swing and a simple football pitch.
As this is a residential area we ask users to be aware of noise levels at all times and to make sure all rubbish is removed from the area when you leave.

In order to help us maintain this great facility we ask residents and users to adhere to the following.
