CRAG unveils the new design for the Junior Park!
Coaley Junior Park Scheme
Coaley Junior Park Scheme
CRAG is excited to unveil the brand-new Junior Park design, created from the ideas of Coaley’s children and families.
Designed for children aged 5–12, this exciting play space is the next step in transforming the Recreation Ground. Built by KOMPAN, the trusted team behind our popular Toddler Park, it will include:
🌟 Wheelchair Accessible Carousel
🌟 Somersault Bars
🌟 Triple Swing
🌟 Double Tower
🌟 Agility Trail
The scheme has been carefully designed to deliver great play value, safe spacing and durable, high-quality equipment.
Help Us Make It Happen
CRAG is now launching a £50,000 fundraising campaign, supported by grants, business sponsorship, community events and donations.
If fundraising stays on track, the new Junior Park will be installed in Spring 2027, ready for local children to enjoy.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to making this project a reality.

CRAG Values
CRAG Values
Well-being
Well-being
We believe play and recreation are crucial to well-being. We aim to create an accessible and
varied play and recreational space, which will enhance the natural environment and benefit
the whole community to support the physical and mental health of all.
Every child has the right to play and rest
Every child has the right to play and rest
In aiming to create an intergenerational space with opportunities for all we recognise that, the
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child places particular emphasis on the rights of children
and states “every child has the right to play and rest” (article 31).
Freedom and Independence
Freedom and Independence
Here in Coaley we recognize the impacts of modern society may restrict children’s opportunity
to play freely outdoors. We therefore aim to recognize this right and ensure children have
opportunities, as enjoyed by previous generations, to have the freedom and independence to
decide when, where, who they play with. It is essential for children’s all-round development
and promotes positive well-being that can carry over into later life.
