Manton Community Outdoors

Aim

We are really excited to be improving Manton recreation ground to create a safe and fun space for our community to play.

We are a group of local mums who are working with Marlborough Town Council and Manton Residents Association to redevelop Manton recreation ground in a manner sympathetic to the local environment, with the aim of creating a space that caters to the needs of all age groups in the community.

The aim is to extend Manton play area whilst continuing to provide an enclosed area for younger children.  The current play area was installed in 2002, is limited in size and in need of upgrading and updating.  We hope to target our play equipment to children between the ages of 2-11 years, thus increasing the scope from what is currently available.

We also look to provide sports and fitness equipment for older children, teenagers and adults in the hope of providing a space with something for everyone in the community.  We feel the area also needs more benches and picnic tables as well as some shaded seating.

In addition, the local school and pre school have limited outdoor space and will enormously benefit from improved local outdoor facilities.

The town council are helping with this project but we also have a substantial sum of money to fund raise in order for this project to go ahead. This project will not be possible without the support and generosity of the local community and we thank you for your help with this.
