Ash Parish Council (APC) has renewed the park equipment within the Ash Recreation Ground playpark. In 2023, APC has completed a number of improvements to this play park, the latest of which is a new wheelchair-accessible roundabout. This is in addition to the new See-Saw and rubberised surfaces laid around all the equipment. Within the past year, APC has also installed a new Teen Shelter and replaced the footpath through the grounds. The cost of the upgrade was met by APC reserves for renewal and maintenance, in addition to funding from GBC via the concurrent function grant scheme.
Regular maintenance
All of APC’s playgrounds are inspected weekly by APC’s qualified ground staff in addition to quarterly & annual inspections by third-party experts who undertake a detailed operational inspection. The parks are also subject to a full annual inspection by another third-party Health and Safety expert to ensure they are all safe and in a useable condition.
The Ash Recreation Ground is located next to the Ash Centre on Ash Hill Road.
