The new play area at Henwick Worthy sports field was officially opened on Wednesday 22nd August.
Hamish Hearn, a local school boy, was invited to cut the ribbon and officially open the new play area. Hamish approached the Henwick Management Committee last year with photographs of state of the art play equipment he wanted to see installed at the sports field.
The Henwick Management Committee were so impressed with the presentation by Hamish, that councillors worked hard to find funding through developers' contributions and a grant from West Berkshire Council to purchase the new play equipment.
Pupils from Whitelands Park Primary and Parsons Down Schools were then invited to vote on one of three play equipment designs and I am pleased to say that the winning entry has been a hit with mums, dads and more importantly the children!
