05/07/26 - Vision Launch

On July 5th the Community Centre hosted The Long Ashton Village Open Day which attracted hundreds of people of all ages from across our village for a picnic, cream teas, a BBQ, live jazz, and various stalls. As part of this sunny day, the Playpark Working Group shared the ideas, master plans and designs for an exciting new playpark for Long Ashton. At the event, we asked for people’s thoughts on the overall look and feel and to ask for people to tell us how they might support the project through fundraising or volunteering their skills.

It was a real delight that so many people were so keen to find out more and pledge their support. We had offers from data analysts, fundraisers, people working in the trades and parents offering to help in any way they can. We thank you for these offers and will be in touch with you all soon. This was a real boost for the Working Group as we are made up of people from the village, all with jobs and children and volunteering in our spare time to work towards creating a fabulous new playground.
