Slades Park Pavilion is open to all. The Active Dorset office is situated within the pavilion and therefore every weekday (9am-4.30pm) the main part of the pavilion will be open with access to the public open space, toilets, free Wi-Fi and hot drinks from the Eco bean-to-cup coffee machine. ( Bring your own cup! - the Pavilion is aiming to be environmentally friendly).

In addition there is a small café facility which will be open when there are sufficient volunteers available , providing cakes, ice creams and a wider range of drinks. These opening times will be published on the signs outside the pavilion and through our social media profiles

When is the Pavilion open?

The Pavilion will then be open for access to the toilets and the vending machine every weekday between 9am and 4.30pm. A wider selection of drinks and food will be available for purchase when the cafe is staffed by volunteers.

What does the café sell?

The cafe sells teas and coffee, cakes, biscuits, ice creams, sausage rolls, soups, filled rolls and paninis. However this is subject to change and we may well offer other items if there is demand for them.

How do people pay in the Café?

We are a completely cashless facility and will accept debit and credit cards, EMV chip cards or mobile payment apps. No cash is used or kept within the building

Is my dog allowed inside the building?

Oh Yes, dog walking is a major part of Slades, all dogs on leads are welcome in the Pavilion and there is a dog friendly water fountain near the main entrance
