You will both love the trails at The Pines.
If you are going to CParks anyway it would be rude not to nip off a lap or 2 on the green and blue.
There’s nothing better than getting out on the bike with the Know kids, and Sherwood Pines is prob about the safest bet.
Score some brownie points with the wife as well by taking the ankle biter to the Gruffalo trail located behind the Cafe in the visitor centre. There’s also a massive sand pit AND a great big wooden fort for kids,
The red trail is not too bad a loop and it’s pretty dry at the min except that section at the end between post 18 – 19 I don’t know WTF has gone on there! The previous section held water the new detour just takes the piss. I’ve not ridden there for a good 18 Months so was pleased to see some good bits.its a good work out as there’s no free speed so the whole lots got to be pedalled, some folk hate it but I quite enjoy it. I was driving past so made the extra effort to put the bike in the car and managed 3 laps on Thursday. My legs were pretty tired today.
Good luck with the Briwnie Points and if you need somewhere out of the complex to eat then the Dog & Duck in Clipstone village is excellent.
