Local reserves like this usually suit a mix of uses, from play and picnics to dog walks, so it helps to look for signs about dogs and off-leash times before you go. Playgrounds in reserves are often busiest after school and at weekends, so a weekday morning can be quieter. Open grass lets children run without much structure, but bring water and a hat on sunny days, since shade is often limited on open reserves. Regulars tend to use the same paths each day, so they usually know the best routes.
For a playground stop or a dog run in Casebrook, this reserve is a practical place to take children and dogs.
