About Lady Neville Recreation Ground

Play area

In spring 2023, ocean waste, such as discarded fishing nets, and food packaging was transformed into an exciting and inclusive new play area with an important message about waste and recycling.

The 65 new play features are designed for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy and include:

  • a toddler play zone
  • a high play tower with bridge links, platforms, nets and slides
  • a play tower with accessible wheelchair ramp, inclusive carousel and multi seesaw

Sustainable play

Reducing the carbon emissions usually associated with traditional playgrounds, the new play area will showcase recycling in action. Colour coded equipment will make it easy to identify parts made from 100% ocean waste (such as discarded fishing nets), and parts made from recycled food packaging.

Scooter zone

A new 20 m x 10 m scooter zone, with road markings and a mini roundabout, was also created near the tennis courts.  

Tennis

Free for all, just turn up and play, no need to book a court.

Using the park responsibly

  • No barbecues or fires are allowed to take place in any Council owned parks or countryside areas.

History

The Lady Neville Recreation Ground is named after the wife of a local High Court judge who purchased the land in 1895 when it was put up for sale as building plots. Their daughter, Miss Edith Neville gifted the land to the parish as a recreation ground in 1925.
