With a peaceful pond and open grassland, it is great for walking the dog, having a picnic, meeting friends or spending time watching the wildlife. Facilities Spring Common has public access at all times, but there are no indoor facilities. Educational opportunities Spring Common is within walking distance of many schools in Huntingdon and provides learning opportunities for children of all ages. There are no facilities at the Common so half-day visits are ideal. Please email hinchingbrookecountrypark@huntingdonshire.gov.uk if you are interested in organising a school visit to Spring Common. We also welcome youth clubs, children’s play schemes and Scout and Guide groups. Please contact the ranger on 01480 388666 to discuss your visit. Volunteering The rangers from Hinchingbrooke Country Park hold conservation work parties to look after the site.
