About Greenfields Recreation Ground
Greenfields Recreation Ground on Falstaff Street serves the Greenfields neighbourhood in the north of Shrewsbury and is one of the better-equipped community play sites managed by Shrewsbury Town Council. The infant and junior play area packs in a lot for younger families, from a toddler multi play unit with a slide and a spinning cone climber to a basket swing, a zip wire and a spinner bowl, along with mixed swings offering both junior and toddler seats. Thoughtfully, the equipment includes inclusive items such as an inclusive roundabout and an inclusive spring rocker so that children of different abilities can play alongside each other. Beyond the fenced play area the recreation ground opens out into wider space for games, with a multi-sports court, a basketball frame on hard standing and a BMX track for older children and teenagers. A car park with ample spaces and a scattering of benches make it an easy spot for a longer family visit. The site has been the subject of local debate over its future, but it remains a free, open recreation ground for the community.
