The Churchfields Recreation Ground playground in Beckenham is undergoing renovation due to its aging and unsafe equipment. A Fun Run event organized by the Friends of Churchfields Rec aims to raise the remaining funds needed, after securing support from local councils and residents. Plans for the new playground include a toddler play structure, a sensory zone, and climbing equipment for older children. Local children have actively participated in fundraising efforts, emphasizing community involvement in improving outdoor recreational spaces.
"The equipment is old and parts of it are unsafe. Older kids don't have anywhere to play. But with the right support, we can change that."
"It's up to us as a community to make it happen. The children are leading the way."
"Some have sold second-hand books, baked brownies, and made balloon animals to help raise money."
"I feel sad when I can't play at the park because the equipment is broken."
