The idea
The recently re-developed children’s Play Area in Annscroft is alongside the Multi-use Games Area (MUGA) at the top of the field down Meadowbrook Lane. At present a poorly surfaced stone path leads to it from the entrance to the field. This path is narrow, and the surface is such that pushchairs and wheelchairs can only reach the play area with difficulty, it is not very accessible at all. If a new, smooth and safe path were provided then youngsters in prams, buggies or wheelchairs could access the play equipment and MUGA and parents would no doubt make more use of the equipment there, much of which is fully inclusive and a wonderful facility for the community
What we'll deliver
- A smooth path from the gateway up to the MUGA and play area
- A bench to enable users to rest in the field
Why it's a great idea
The poorly surfaced and narrow stone path that leads to the play area from the entrance to the field will be transformed into a new, smooth and safe path where youngsters in prams, buggies or wheelchairs can easily access the play equipment and MUGA. This would make the facility much more appealing to parents and they would then bring their children to use the equipment more frequently. The recently re-developed area has some fully inclusive items that will cater for all abilities and competencies.
Steps to get it done
- Marking out for the new path
- Digging foundations for the path
- Edging the path
- Sub lining fixed
- Stone laying completed
- Path completed
- Bench erected
We hope this method of fundraising will engender interest and involvement of residents and they will feel that they have contributed to the facility and take ownership of the project and the resources there.
