Shaw Heath Recreation Ground offers a range of facilities that few
other small sites are able to. Overlooked by residential properties
this haven of recreational opportunities is well worth a visit to
witness the positive effect that an active community group can have
on greenspace. The local community have worked with both Groundwork
Trust and the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council to revitalise
the recreation ground into a bright and cheerful park.
Although there is still work to be done at the site there is already
in place a new play area - complete with decorative safety
surfacing, a young peoples meeting point and a kick-about area.
Currently the facilities on site include the Outdoor Gym, multi use
games area, 5 a-side football pitch, junior and toddler play areas,
community centre, community garden, Park pavilion currently used by
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority as part of their
Princes Trust Scheme, a chainsaw bench sculpture and many
horticultural features.
The park is fenced along its boundaries with the adjacent housing
area and is well maintained and inspected on a regular basis.
