Land and recreational facilities

The Trust owns two areas of land in Draycott, which are held for recreational use and the benefit of the community. These spaces provide opportunities for outdoor play, informal recreation and leisure activities for people of all ages.  The first parcel of land owned by the trust is the land between Hopewell Road and Wallis Close, known as the Draycott Recreational Area and the second area is on Draycott Playing Fields (the opposite side of Hopwell Road, through to Gertrude Road)  Only half of this area is owned by the trust – the section from the play area upto the the Football Pitch / Area – the other section is owned by Draycott and Church Wilne Parish Council.

The Trust aims to protect and maintain these areas so that they can continue to be enjoyed by the community for years to come.

Who manages the Trust?

The Parish Council oversees the maintenance and improvement of the Trust’s land, considers opportunities for new recreational facilities and seeks funding where appropriate to support improvements for the community.
