Holmes Chapel is a semi rural village with residential properties, a local Primary School, several Public Houses and a Church dating back to 1400.
The current play area has been provided at Middlewich Road for over 50 years by the Parish Council and maintained by Cheshire East Council.
A Playarea Project Board group was set up consisting of members of the Holmes Chapel Partnership, Holmes Chapel Parish Council and representatives from the local community to meet and consult with the local community to provide a new play provision on the existing site. Funding was secured from a community grant from Wren and with a contribution from the Parish Council.
The design brief was to provide play equipment to suit the age range upto 14 years and the central area must contain a large multi/climbing unit for younger children and a separate climbing unit for older children, the theme for the younger children was pirates.
Play and Leisure's winning design contained at the Focal point a Pirate Ship, a Multiplay Activity Unit, Aerial Runway, Swings (including an inclusive Swing Seat), Spring Animals, Activity Net, Adventure Trail, Talk Tube, Free Standing Basket Ball Post, Inclusive Roundabout, our ever popular Cantilever Basket Swing and Benches and Picnic Tables.
Worked started in early July in the hot sun of a British summer under the watchful eye of the Playarea Project Board and Cheshire East Council and was completed on time and budget.
