Green open spaces are important to any town.  They provide space for excercise and recreation, while also providing an important green oasis in the urban environment.

Calne Town Council own and/or manage several of the gardens and green open spaces in the town.

The Town Gardens

Located on the A4 by Market Hill, the Town Gardens provide a pleasant parkland for people to enjoy.  The gardens have seating and there is a small area for the children to enjoy the garden which houses "Billy the shunter" a train styled climbing frame.

Attractively planted, the gardens also provide a welcoming sight to people passing through the town on the A4.

The Green

Entrusted to Calne, The Green is a large open space located just off the A4 by the White Hart Hotel.  Surrounded by some of the most historical and interesting architecture Calne has to offer, The Green can be used for picnics, general recreation and enjoyment.

North End Open Space

This space is located near Amberley Close and is a large green field for general recreation.  White Horse Youth Football Team have been licensed to play on this space whilst the Beversbrook sports project is progressed.

Castle Park

Castle Park is owned and managed by North Wiltshire District Council.  The park is located off Station Road or Patford Street.  You can connect to the North Wiltshire Rivers Route which is part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network and which leads you all the way to Chippenham following the old Calne railway route.  The area is great for walking and reaching open countryside.

The park and surrounding lands are currently part of an exciting long term regeneration project managed by the Castlefields Canal & Riverpark Project (CARP).  The Town Council has given significant grant funding to this organisation to help towards making the project a reality.

You can find out more about this exciting project on their website www.calne-castlefieldspark.co.uk (external link).
