Improvements To Kemsley Recreation Ground Unveiled

Residents young and old will be able to sharpen their skills after improvements to the Kemsley Recreation Ground were unveiled for the New Year.

The new £19,500 multi-use games area has been installed by Swale Borough Council and gives visitors the chance to enjoy a range of ball games such as football and basketball, alongside the existing pitches at the park.

Cllr David Simmons, cabinet member for environment and rural affairs at the council, told SFM News: "This is a great improvement to the area with a variety of outside recreational spaces that can be used by families and residents of all ages. It's a great space for people to get together for some fun and exercise, and shows our commitment to providing good-quality, accessible areas that everybody can look forward to and enjoy."

There will be further improvements to play areas in the borough being carried out this year including a replacement junior play unit at Nursery Close Play Area, Sheerness - scheduled for spring/summer 2018 and play area improvements at Windermere Road Play Area, Faversham scheduled for spring/summer 2018.
