Milton’s playgrounds were hugely popular and well-used for many years. The original equipment was installed in 1999 and had reached the stage where a regeneration plan was needed. So the fundraising campaigns began.
In total, around £130,000 was secured from the likes of WREN, Amey Community Fund and Cambridge Sports Lake Trust, as well as generous donations from local organisations and individual personal gestures. This enabled the proposed new playspace to come to fruition and immediately consultations took place with local stakeholders and schoolchildren. It was important that the equipment mirrored the needs and desires of everyone involved. It was also crucial for the park to be all-inclusive.
