About Horsehay Playing Field
Horsehay Playing Field is a free, public open space off Pool Side in Horsehay, on the western side of Telford, managed by Telford & Wrekin Council. It sits close to Horsehay Pool and the historic Telford Steam Railway, in an area known for its industrial heritage and green surroundings. The playing field is a straightforward neighbourhood recreation space centred on a junior play area, making it well suited to younger children. Alongside the play area there is a 5-a-side pitch laid out in sand carpet, giving older children and adults a place for informal football. A second Horsehay play area is provided nearby at Shirefields Way, which has a combined junior and senior play area.
