Puriton Assault Course
- Members of the Council and the Pump Track working group discussed the potential of adding additional outdoor equipment be installed on completion of the pump track at the sports Centre, at the time we were keen to utilise the unused area of the sports Centre. The Council sought funding and permission from Puriton Sports Centre committee to move the project forward.
- It was agreed that a sustainable and organic style course would provide a challenging, creative, and suitable environment to match the setting, with addition of a zip wire which was requested by members of the community.
- Funding was sourced from various quarters including CIL funds, an anonymous donor of £10k and Gravity who were keen to invest some capital into the project and were very pleased to fund the zip wire, which was named “Gravity”.
- The assault course was opened in early August 2023.
Puriton Orchard
- Puriton Orchard is located between Woolavington Road and Waterloo Close and maintained by the Village Ranger. There are planters for herbs, and residents can take the fruits and herbs grown home with them at any time.
Manse Lane Play Area
Puriton Parish Council were approached by Somerset Council to take over Manse Lane play area due to the finance constraints and asset devolution at the start of the new financial year in April 2024.
The Parish Council have agreed to inspect and maintain the grass and green areas of this lovely park for 12 months with the option to take permanent responsibility in April 2025.
It is a lovely space for children to play and climb.
