The Jubilee Playing field is located within the village of Lea and is entered from Crabmill Lane. It is furnished with a variety of items of play equipment suitable for children of all ages. There is also a Tennis Court as well as a Cricket Practice Net, there is also a Boules Court.

The keys for the Tennis Court are available from Linda Heron, Ashbourne House, Crabmill Lane.

The use of these facilities are free, however you may if you wish make a donation towards the Jubilee Playing Field Funds. Any donations should be left with Linda Heron.

LITTLE HAMLETS - BRILL

This new item of play equipment which has been purchased for our Playing Field is suitable for children from 18 months to 6 years of age.

North Wiltshire District Council Area 1 Committee awarded the Parish Council a Grant of £1,938:00 towards the cost, with the balance of £2,000:00 being found from the Jubilee Playing Field Fund.

The work of installation has now been completed by several members of the Parish Council. The equipment is therefore available for use by those children within the age group specified by the manufacturer. Hopefully "Little Hamlets" will be much enjoyed and will prove to be a great addition to our playing field.

Various items of Playing field equipment have in the last few months attracted the "Graffiti Artists". The matter is currently in the hand so the Police. Playing field users are requested to report any such activity to the Parish Clerk. The Playing Field is inspected weekly for any defaults, in order to make this task easier, users are requested not to drop litter or to leave any stones, bottles or other hard objects laying on the grass. This type of object could easily caused injury to users.

Please make use of the litter bin on the post just outside the entrance gate. Dog owners are reminded that dogs, even on a lead are not permitted to enter the field. Guide Dogs are however permitted.
