The playground in Leigh (left), www.leigh-surrey.org, has been established for many years but is now moribund and needs updating.  It lies next to the recreation ground and opposite the Village Hall, Post Code: RH2 8NP.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside with car parking adjacent to it, the playground should be a focal point of the village used by children of all ages and abilities from the village and surrounding areas.

PLAY (Playground for Leigh's Active Youth), a committee comprising seven parishioners with the backing of the Parish Council and of many village organisations,  intends to provide exciting and innovative new play equipment and to improve the existing area by incorporating some seating and gates.

The whole community has been invited to give their views as to what they want from the playground with an emphasis on what the children would like.  Here is a summary of the consultation of the older children.

P L A Y - latest news

The first new equipment has been installed in the play area.  Three 'springers' and an adventurous installation 'Toddlers' Kingdom' are now being used by children of Leigh.

The P L A Y Barn Dance after the Leigh Summer Show was a huge success, bringing more than one thousand pounds to the fund, and also increasing the publicity of the project.
