We all live locally and have children that regularly visit Tarring Recreation Ground and want to put back new play equipment to replace equipment that over the last 5 years have been removed but not so far replaced.
The remaining play equipment is ok, but not particularly challenging or exciting for our children to have fun whilst also getting exercise and growing up.
We have heard so much in the news about the financial cuts and how we should encourage our children to be healthier that we have gotten together to try and do something locally for ourselves and our children. This will result in more fun, exercise and healthier children that will socialise more and learn to play together for longer – outside in the fresh air!
We are also keen to add picnic benches to the site to encourage people to spend more time there, enabling more mixing together of parents and children and community involvement and TRAC will apply to other funders for these.
Adur and Worthing Council has agreed to work with us; William Boyd and Clive Bramble from Parks and Katie Neal, External Funding Officer have met us on site and as a group.
They have agreed to cover the work within the Council regarding permissions, acceptance once installed and the ongoing inspection and maintenance.
