JUNIOR PLAYING FIELD
The play are is situated between Grove Hill and Carwinion Road. Constituting just over half an acre and situated in the village center, the objective of the Junior Playing Field Trust is to provide and maintain a recreation ground for the benefit of younger children of the parish.
In 1978 play equipment was installed and until 1999, was enjoyed by the children of the village. At this time an adverse health and safety report forced the then trustees to remove condemned equipment leaving the children with no where to play safely.
Since 2002, the trustees have attracted over £80,000 from charitable organisations in order to purchase new equipment and safety surfaces. This varies from a zip wire, swings, roundabout and assault nets for older children, to climbing frames and rocking animals for the youngest.
Today the children’s play area is used extensively by all age groups and includes a scented garden for disabled children and their carers, together with picnic tables for the whole family.
The trustees are the serving Parish Councillors, albeit acting independently.
