Horsham District Council’s Parks and Countryside team is planning to expand the teen zone at Roffey Rec play area for local teenage residents to enjoy and wants to hear young people’s views on their initial ideas.
We are looking to transform the area around the existing ball court, while not affecting the football pitch. It is suggested that the proposed teen zone area will include a ball zone, a gym zone and a chill zone.
Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture Cllr Roger Noel commented:
It’s great news that we are set to transform this area for young people.
We redeveloped the play area for younger children some five years ago with a medieval themed play park, and it is a joy to see how much this area continues to be enjoyed by parents and children alike.
We are pleased to now be completing the second phase of the overall redevelopment for older children and teenagers.
If you use any of these play areas I encourage you to get involved and give us your feedback on the ideas and designs so we can continue making the changes we know our residents want to see.
Please help us by completing our short questionnaire by 30 June 2022 and telling us what you think:
As well as the teen zone, we will be adding additional seating and planting for all our visitors to enjoy.
This important green space is situated in the heart of Roffey in the North Horsham parish. It lies adjacent to Roffey Football ground, the Memorial Cricket Ground and Broadwood Recreation Ground.
This project is funded by Section 106 contributions, which is money provided by housing developers working in the local area to improve and expand sport and recreation facilities for local people.
