IT’S READING as you’ve never seen it before – and for once it really is a little big town.

Earlier this month, Reading Borough Council opened The Ranger Station, a new activity centre for families.
It includes a play hub with Sky Tykes low ropes, a coffee bar, and a multi-function room.
And there’s also a very special nine-hole mini-golf attraction, nestled in part of Prospect Park.
Each of the holes features a Reading landmark in miniature form.
They include the Abbey, the Blade, Reading Festival and the Forbury Lion.
The course is open from 10am to 6pm on weekdays and 10am to 4pm on weekends, and players can go through the course twice to make the full 18 holes, before enjoying a treat from the 19th hole – aka Ela’s Coffee Bar.
Cllr Adele Barnett-Ward, Reading Borough Council’s lead councillor for leisure and culture, said: “I’m delighted to see our new Ranger Station at Prospect Park now open for play. It offers a new destination for families across Reading and beyond.
“I really enjoyed trying out the mini-golf among some of Reading’s finest heritage buildings, although sadly I didn’t manage any holes-in-one.
“Why not head over to Prospect Park and give it a go?”
