On 10 April 2009 the Parish Council was awarded a Playbuilder grant up to £45,000 to develop facilities for ages 8-13 at Wytham View play area (beside the primary school).
The site was transformed into Dovehouse "Come and Play" following extensive consultation, with a combined grant total of £85,000 providing for all ages and abilities.
Unfortunately, Dovehouse Close play area currently [March 2026] has a number of pieces of equiment out-of-action. We have repaired what we are able but some of the old equipment needs replacing, which would cost the Parish Council up to £40,000. As we do not have the Budget for new equipment at this stage, we are exploring ways to raise the money and welcome ideas from the community.

We apologise to the community for this ongoing disruption as we know how well-loved and much-used this play area is.
