Walkington Playing Fields Association is a charity run by local volunteers who work hard to raise funds all year round. Their aim is to keep the Playing Fields alive as a space for villagers to use and enjoy.
 

  Protect What We Have!
Every year, for a few years now, the Pavilion and Park have been subjected to vandalism, the bills for which run into thousands of pounds.
 
The Playing Fields is not a Council run amenity, the money does not come out of thin air. Current quotes to get the park back, just to its original state, are almost £2000. Each week this increases as a small minority of people chip away at the surfaces, and abuse the equipment.
 
The project to try and renew the park and courts may be a long road of fundraising and hard work. We don’t want it to be in vain, to be just something else to wreck.
 
If you are bored and need something to do in the village, get behind us, speak up and let us know what you want.
 
But in the mean time - please protect what we have.
