A mini-golf course full of Reading landmarks has officially opened.
The Forbury Lion, The Blade and Madejski Stadium are among the prominent places featured in a nine-hole course in Prospect Park.
The outdoor activity is part of a phased opening of a £500k play hub, The Ranger Station.
A spokesperson for Reading Borough Council said: “The course is designed to be accessible for a broad range of abilities. It has wheelchair access and we can provide specialist accessible putting equipment so that everyone can join in the fun.”

More facilities coming soon include:

• an outdoor education area that will also support Reading Play’s educational outreach work which includes using play as a tool to improve particularly vulnerable young people’s social skills and wellbeing.
The mini-golf is open from 10am to 6pm on weekdays and 10am to 4pm at weekends.
An online booking option is coming soon. At present, please turn up play and pay on arrival at the pavilion kiosk. Payments need to be made by card on site
