The Prolduic team attended the community site opening for Harpenden Town Council at Westfield Recreation Ground. Harpenden undertook a £68,000 refurbishment to improve the popular recreation ground. We are proud to have developed the new Harpenden Community Play Area alongside them.
It is lovely to see new play facilities opened and the impact they have on the community who use them. Here are some of our favourite shots from the day:
The recreation ground in Harpenden has earned legal protection from any future development. This is thanks to a national campaign to find and protect green spaces throughout the country. Westfield Recreation Ground in Harpenden is one of more than 100 sites that members of the public identified as part of the search launched by the Carnegie UK Trust and Fields in Trust. The goal of this was to find and protect over 900 ‘lost’ playing fields. A plaque now marks the new status in an unveiling which also coincided with the play area launch to the community.
Mayor Nicola Linacre said: “I hope the local residents will enjoy their new facilities here at Westfield Recreation Ground. There is something for everyone, from the very youngest to adults who want to get fit using the fitness trail equipment installed around the Recreation Ground. I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who contributed their ideas and efforts to ensure a successful project.”
