Weare Giffard Recreation Ground (The Park)
Probably the nicest setting for a children's playground
Brand new for 2006 - climbing frame
The increasingly famous badger and her sign
The recreation ground is owned by the village and its maintenance and general running is done through a committee of villagers.
There is an excellent childrens play area with swings for old and younger children, a play-house on the mound, with a climbing frame with short slide, monkey-bars, wobbly bridge and fire-fighters' pole.
The park is also home to the village cricket ground where the cricket club plays its home matches.
From the park there are two lovely woodland woalks and it is possible to ge to the river edge from the far side of the park. Although BEWARE the river is deep and often fast-flowing. If you are unfamiliar with the park you should not allow children to wander off out of sight.
