St Day Parish Council is taking proactive steps to secure the future of St Day Playing Field by commissioning a detailed feasibility study. This work will assess the site’s current condition, usage patterns, and maintenance needs while exploring opportunities for community-led development.
The study is a vital part of the Parish Council’s negotiations to devolve the playing field from Cornwall Council. Through this project they aim to understand the viability, benefits, and challenges of taking ownership, ensuring any decisions are informed and sustainable for the long term.
Creating inclusive, accessible spaces is at the heart of the Parish Council’s vision. They want the playing field to be a place where everyone, regardless of age or ability, feels welcome and connected. This project builds on extensive community engagement including surveys, meetings, and an open day, and will continue to involve local groups, especially those who already use the site.
The feasibility study will deliver concept designs, detailed recommendations, cost analysis, and a phased implementation plan. These insights will help shape a space that supports wellbeing, social interaction, and a strong sense of belonging for residents and visitors alike.
