The Wyshe Play Area

The Wyshe play area is in the village of Pyecombe in the South Downs National Park. Mid Sussex District Council has secured a small amount of funding to make some improvements and enhance accessibility for the whole community, and hope to be successful in securing more to make even more lasting improvements to the space.

Background

In 2022, Mid Sussex District Council ran two public consultations and heard that local people want a well-maintained, low-key play area that caters for the village and is a comfortable place for the whole family to spend time. People asked for seating for adults to sit and enjoy the setting and equipment that caters for a wide age range and with various levels of challenge.

The site itself has many challenges to development, including being a Site of Special Scientific Interest, having a restrictive covenant, being within the South Downs National Park and an area of potential archaeological interest. More detail on these can be found in our FAQs.
