Please note that the "older" equipment in the Playing Field - the swings and
climbing castle will be out of use for a few weeks pending a Health & Safety Inspection
Update 1st April 2007
The infants swing did not pass the examination - there was rot in two of the legs. Regrettably this swing has had to be dismantled. The Trust have now made an application for funding of up to £10,000 to replace both the swings.

Both rely heavily on grants from the Parish Council for the
upkeep of the facilities.

Junior Playing Field Trust.

Grant applications for £50,000+ were made to install new play equipment, a "safe" surface, and new fencing to keep dogs out of the area. Grants submitted in October 2002. The application has been rejected although we are still hoping to benefit from a few minor grants which will be used to install more equipment.

At a meeting held on 22nd April 2003, it was agreed that, with limited funding available, we would

carry out repairs to the fencing at the St Michaels end of the field
excavate and prepare a new safety surface using bark chippings
repair existing "in situ" play equipment and those items in store
Widen the bottom footpath, and face up the Cornish bank with St Issey stone

The idea was raised that we hold some form of fund raising event within the community - this will be discussed further.

Update 17th September 2003

Phases 1 & 2 of the work are now completed with the repair to the climbing house, installation of three swings, an aerial slide, a wobble board, a spinning log, all with their associated safety surfaces, and a
basketball goal.

2 Picnic benches have been installed, and gates fitted to keep the field secure.

Yet more work is planned, with improvements to the boundary wall and adjoining footpath, and the installation of a sensory garden.

Sensory Garden and improvement of footpath & boundary wall completed
New scramble net installed

Funding has been obtained and yet more equipment has been installed (March 2006). These include a new roundabout, tyre ring and a bouncy ride for the little ones.

The footpath adjacent to the field has been resurfaced
