Children's playground - Refurbishment Feb 2026!

Over the past year, Brockham Parish Council has been working with a local community group to plan the replacement of the outdated playground equipment at Elizabeth Bailey Playing Field. After reviewing designs and meeting with suppliers, a preferred layout and contractor have been identified.

The full cost of the new equipment and installation is £26,450.38 (inc. VAT).

A successful grant application to the Gatwick Airport Community Trust has secured £2,505, leaving a funding shortfall of £23,945.38, which is being requested from the Parish Council.

The project also includes the removal of the old equipment and a review of the final playground plan with the supplier. Some small additional works—such as replacing a swing seat and cleaning/painting existing structures—may require modest extra funding.

The playground works have nearly been completed. There are a few items on the snagging list so the playground remains closed for the next few weeks whilst we install the final equipment including new swing seats. As soon as they have been finished, the playground will be reopened for local children to enjoy.

The Cubs planted hedging plants with the boundary with Tanners Meadow. There are more to be planted in the next few weeks. We ask that people do not try to cross between EBF and Tanners meadow to allow them to take.

Table Tennis

The Parish Council has provided two table tennis tables for residents of Brockham to enjoy. You just need to bring your own bats and balls and hope for the sunshine and little wind.
