This year, Cheslyn Hay Parish Council were successful in obtaining funding from the Play Builder scheme.   Playbuilder aims to provide new & improved open-access play areas for children aged 8-13yrs across the County.

Through this scheme, Cheslyn Hay Parish Council developed a natural play area, situated in amongst trees at a recreation ground in the village. The site contains lots of play experiences, where children & young people can climb, run, sit and chat, and use the two zip wires. As all the equipment is built entirely from natural materials, it fits in with the natural woodland area.

The play area is a great addition to the other facilities in the village, and is being well used by local children & young people.

The Playbuilder scheme is now closed to new applications, with the final round of applications being assessed in March. However, there is still funding available for play from elsewhere – if you would like to improve play facilities in your village, you are advised to talk through your ideas with South Staffordshire Play Partnership, who can give you all the advice you will need, including the latest national guidance around play.
