What’s Going on at the ‘Rec’?


The development of Riccall Recreation Ground …
update…14 Jan 2006

Phase 1 of the development of Riccall Recreation Ground was completed early in 2005, catering for children in the junior age range. Funding for Phase 1 was provided by ‘Living Spaces’ (a scheme funded by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to help local people improve the local environment), Riccall Parish Council, a section 106 agreement (funding given by builders of new houses in the village towards recreational equipment) and local fundraising.


This week sees the installation of three new pieces of equipment on Riccall Recreation Ground (an Aerial slide, a Kompan Supernova roundabout and an Encounter meeting area). North Yorkshire County Council Community Fund, Riccall Parish Council, North Yorkshire County Council Selby Area Committee and local fundraising have provided the funding for Phase 2 of this 3- Phase development. Local youths have been consulted and high on the wish list for Phase 2 (the phase aimed at equipment for older youths) was an aerial slide, closely followed by a meeting area.

Phase 3, planned for later in the year, will see an enclosed area for toddlers and also a skate area for older youths. Consultation on these areas will begin shortly.

The development of the Recreation Ground in Riccall will produce a facility for the community that is usually only reserved for large towns. Again, Riccall has demonstrated that through community spirit, determination and sheer hard work, it is one of the most desirable places to live in the whole of the UK.

Your ideas, comments and input are valued at every stage.
