Our next fundraising milestone

£60,000 secured.
Help us match it.

Bath’s Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) award gives Phase 3 a funded starting point. We are seeking one or more headline sponsors to contribute a further £60,000, matching that public investment and helping us get the next stage underway.

The match is our next milestone, not the full cost of the wider plan. Further equipment sponsorship and donations will help deliver the complete scheme.

Building on what’s begun

A park that grows
with its children.

The next upgrade responds to older children who want more challenge, more variety and somewhere to spend time together.

01Opened September 2025

Play for younger children

New timber play equipment, safer surfacing and more space for picnics gave families a much-loved first upgrade.

02Equipment on order

A new sandpit adventure

Local fundraising helped pay for replacement sandpit equipment. This is a separate project already progressing.

03Our next chapter

More play for older children

Free activity and social space for 9–14-year-olds, with particular attention to girls and children with additional access needs.

The Phase 3 vision

Climb. Swing.
Make room for friends.

A mix of active and social play, connected by an accessible all-weather route and places to sit together.

Proposed Phase 3 layout: climbing and gym equipment, shared swings, musical play, pavilion and seating, alongside the existing sandpit and Phase 1

Illustrative concept based on Fawns drawing CYQ2487_C. Final scope, prices and sequence of works will be agreed with the Council and supplier.

More than a collection of equipment.

The CIL bid put public funding towards the route, ground preparation, drainage, clearance and a pavilion with seating. Sponsorship helps turn that foundation into places to play.

For businesses, trusts and major donors

Help unlock
the next chapter.

We are looking for headline sponsors whose combined support will match the £60,000 CIL award and help us mobilise Phase 3.

Headline gifts will help fund safety surfacing and the wider site costs that sit alongside equipment sponsorship. A single headline gift or a group of substantial donations could make that next step possible. We would welcome a conversation about your priorities, a costed package and recognition of your support.

Talk about headline sponsorship

Every contribution helps

A little more play.

Whether you give towards the appeal, sponsor a feature or introduce us to a potential headline sponsor, you can help move Phase 3 forward.
