Chaffinch Close, Temple Grove, Primrose Close Play Areas

Mid Sussex District Council is undertaking a programme of work to review the provision and management of a number of small, recently adopted residential play parks in Burgess Hill.

Many of these parks were originally built as part of housing development in the 1990s. The ownership and maintenance of some of them weren't formally transferred to the Council until recently, and several of these when the condition of their facilities had started to deteriorate.

The Council has maintained the sites to ensure they remained safe and usable pending completion of the adoption process.

In particular; Chaffinch Close (Saxby Road), Temple Grove, and Primrose Close are being considered together to work out how best to invest in their future, within a wider view of our parks and green spaces.

CHAFFINCH CLOSE PLAY AREA

A small fenced area on Saxby Road in the northwest suburbs of Burgess Hill, we are considering the best outcome for this space.

We will talk to local residents in due course to understand how this space might best be used.

In the meantime we will be removing the old surfacing and reinstating grass so the space can be opened up for use.

The basketball hoop will remain unaffected and available for use.

TEMPLE GROVE PLAY AREA

While we will review the best use of the existing space, it will include new play equipment.

We will seek public view on new play equipment designs in due course, and resident feedback will inform the final choice.

PRIMROSE CLOSE PLAY AREA

We are planning to improve access to the existing facilities here, as part of our wider planning of the three parks in this area.

We plan to commence this work over this summer.
