New refurbished Playground at Michael Crescent Centenary Park
Smiles were to be seen everywhere for the official opening of the newly refurbished playground at Michael Crescent Centenary Park on Saturday 12 October. The ribbon was cut by Reigate & Banstead Mayor, Cllr Eddy Humphries who commented "We’re delighted to see such high quality facilities being delivered by our partner council, Horley Town Council. I’m sure this will get a lot of enjoyment from local residents and visitors to Horley."
The playground improvements provide a raft of new equipment installed which aims to cater for a range of ages and different abilities. New features include a multiplay castle, swings with special seats for disabled children, balance obstacles, a hammock for relaxing and a quiet sensory area.
The refurbishment of the playground was made possible by a grant from the Reigate & Banstead Borough Council Strategic Community Infrastructure Levy fund. This is part of a wider programme of improvements to the park by the Town Council, following the demolition of the old derelict building last year.
Horley Town Council Mayor, Cllr Martin Saunders said "We’re delighted to bring this exciting new playground in southwest Horley. The funding came from a levy on local developers building housing in the borough, and so it is particularly pleasing that we were able to provide this playground refurbishment with support from Reigate & Banstead Borough Council without using taxpayers money."
