Sampford Peverell
​Play Park

Welcome to Sampford Peverell Play Park, a wonderful community space for all to enjoy!

Owned by Sampford Peverell Parish Council, the ongoing maintenance of the park sits under the Sampford Peverell Recreation Ground & Village Hall Charity, driven by the Play Park Support Group, made up of local families. The Support Group aims to raise £2,000 a year to help cover the insurance and maintenance costs of the park.

Origins
The Park was first opened in 1949 as a memorial to those in the village who died in the two world wars.  It was constructed for the cost of £2,300 (the equivalent of approx. £47,000 in 2017), which was raised through grants, private donations and local events. It included two tennis courts, a cricket pitch, four swings and a children’s chute (slide).  

Renovated and Re-opened in August 2017
Three local parents set about fundraising £95,000 to build a new park in September 2016.  Thanks to a generous grant of £80,720 from Viridor Credits, and a further £15,000, raised through other Trusts, Community Groups, Individuals, Companies and Events, the renovated park was opened on 6th August 2017 and is the wonderful space you see today!
