Sports, parks, and recreation

Sports and recreation facilities

Floreat Montague Park Primary School has an all-weather pitch available for community use outside of school hours. There are also four children’s play parks in the area.

Further sports and recreational facilities will be provided for the south of the railway development at Grays Farm, which we own, and across the development site.

Parks and open space

As part of the development, there are several recreational open spaces for residents to enjoy the natural environment and more will be provided to the south of the railway. These open spaces include parks and gardens, public open spaces, children’s play areas, playing pitches, allotments and nature parks.

Nature parks are designed to attract residents and dog walkers as an alternative to the Thames Basin Heath Special Protection Area, which supports rare ground nesting birds and is highly sensitive to visitors.

The nature parks to be provided as part of the South Wokingham major development area include:

• Buckhurst Meadows – Located in the Montague Park development north of the railway, with scope for extension to the north-east as the area continues to develop
• The southern part of the development will also include nature parks, with more details to be confirmed in due course
