Play Builder Plans for the Ockendon Rec
Ockendon Recreation Ground, situated behind St Nicholas Church,Ockendon Village, has formed a committee made up of members of the South Ockendon Bowls Club, Belhus Cricket Club, Brandon Groves Football Club, St Nicholas Church, South Ockendon Community Forum, plus dog walkers and residents of the area, with the aim of improving facilities within the park. We have managed to obtain a Play Builder grant of £49,000 for play equipment and have raised further funds from Veolie ES to bring the total Playpark Build to £100k. Work will be starting shortly to create a fantastic new play area.
