Mary Datchelor Playing Fields

Improving facilities, drainage and learning for 3,500 pupils and the local community

​

Our proposals will deliver:

​​

• A modern, fully accessible pavilion with changing facilities and sports equipment storage

• Upgraded sports facilities:

  • New athletics facilities

  • New cricket nets

  • Redesigned tennis and netball courts

  • Opportunities for other sports

  • All season football and rugby pitch

  • Padel courts

• Drainage upgrades to ensure year-round reliability and flood prevention

• Enhanced ecology and biodiversity to aid nature learning and children’s education

• ​Larger maintenance building for new equipment

​​

These improvements will support both DPS and Kingsdale and will allow community groups to benefit from the facilities.
