The idea
The long-term mission for the recreation-ground regeneration is to create and maintain a rich natural environment where everyone, especially children and young people, can enjoy the outdoors, play freely and creatively with their peers and follow their interests.
This phase of the project is to build an all weather track around the perimeter of the community space to ensure access to all areas and features. Paths are 1.2 metres wide with wider areas at intervals enabling wheelchairs users and mobility scooters to pass and/or turn. Paths are un-obstructed by obstacles such as bins or vegetation for those with visual impairment. Benches are spaced at regular intervals along the route in addition to at a terrace close to the shop and village hall facilities. There will be s shade provided by trees and two rectangular sails secured to timber posts.
What we'll deliver
- Construction of perimeter path and plaza area
Why it's a great idea
We are building attractive, fully accessible paths around our recreation ground so that everyone can get out and have easy access to our play grounds, trim trail and courts and socialise at the picnic areas.
It will encourage more people to get out away from social media to socialise together, have fun, improve their health and well being and for our village to develop and thrive!
Steps to get it done
- Placing orders and arranging a start date
- Communication with the village
- Constructing the paths
- Landscaping and planting
- Installing benches, bins and bug boxes
- Launch event to formally open the paths
- Activities to open our new play path, exercise and have fun
- Summer Fete
