Our Mission
Our Mission
The long-term mission for the recreation-ground regeneration is to:
Create and maintain a rich natural environment where everyone, especially children and young people, can enjoy the outdoors, play freely and creatively with their peers and follow their interests.
Develop an inclusive, child-friendly, free, adventurous play space in the heart of Coaley where people of all ages and abilities can come and explore, create, build friendships and generally hang out.
The overall aim is to improve the well-being of residents of Coaley, especially children and young people, by developing and maintaining a safe, free, adventurous play environment by:
Developing a plan for playing field regeneration
Obtaining funding for the agreed improvements
Implementing the specified work under the authorization of Coaley Parish Council
We did it!
We did it!
We have hit our Spacehive funding target!!! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the crowdfunding and ensured that we demonstrated community support for the project to make us eligible for Stroud District Council funding. Thanks especially to those 6 individuals as well as Deacon Groundworks and Monatrix (Paul Gillings) for those final pledges that rolled us over our target!
It’s not over yet-we will still be fundraising for future phases as well as for those extras that will always crop up with large projects like this. www.spacehive.com/crag if you’d like to join the party!

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.
