Coaley Comes Together to Build a Dream Toddler Park

We’re incredibly proud to have played a part in a truly special milestone for the village of Coaley.

Children from Coaley Church of England Primary School officially helped break ground on the brand-new Toddler Park at the Recreation Ground — marking the start of construction on a project that perfectly showcases the power of community spirit.

What began as a shared ambition has become a reality, with Coaley Recreation Action Group (CRAG) successfully reaching its £41,000 fundraising target to transform the much-loved play area. The new equipment has now been ordered from leading playground provider KOMPAN, and construction is officially underway.

This achievement was made possible through outstanding local support — including a £5,000 contribution from Cotswold Homes, alongside generous donations from Bromford, Coaley Village Groups and many residents who volunteered, donated and supported fundraising events. It’s a fantastic example of what can be achieved when a community pulls together.

The new Toddler Park will replace ageing equipment with a vibrant, modern and inclusive play space designed especially for young children and families. Plans include:
✨ A toddler swing
✨ Springers and a seesaw
✨ A tractor climbing frame with slide
✨ A carousel and spider swing seat
✨ Interactive play panels
✨ Brand-new safety surfacing

Three local schoolchildren joined representatives from CRAG, Coaley Parish Council and project supporters — including our team at Cotswold Homes — to mark the official start of construction. It was a fitting tribute to the young people who will soon fill the park with laughter and life.

As Sarah Williams, our Sales and Marketing Director, shared:
“We are proud to support CRAG and the Coaley community in delivering such a valuable project for local families. The new Toddler Park will be a fantastic asset for the village, and it’s inspiring to see what can be achieved when residents, organisations and businesses work together.”

With the park due to open just before Easter, we can’t wait to see it enjoyed by generations to come.
