Readers of this site will remember the proposal to build a children's play area in Orchard Meadow (see article of 17th July followed by a public consultation announcement on 23rd July). Spelthorne Council is pleased to announce that the play area is now open.

Designed for the under 11s, the play area is made using natural wood materials and includes a range of equipment including climbing logs, balance structures and play boulders.

Spelthorne Council obtained external funding for the project from the Surrey County Council Community Improvement Fund and Fields in Trust. An official launch is planned for the Easter holidays.

    Drove past Orchard Meadow on Sunday afternoon & caught some families enjoying this addition to the park. I'm glad the flat earth society who tried to knock this back during the planning process were over-ruled as it enhances the meadow & only encourages physical and recreational use.
