After many months we finally have a winner. Playdale, the company behind the winning designs, for Beare Green, has produced a great play area design. Beare Greenians from Mole Valley have chosen the winning designs for the new Beare Green play facility.
More than 170 votes were cast online in the final round of consultation, which asked residents to pick their favourite designs.
Our new design features an aerial runway, a log climber and a tower with a tube slide. Bushes, plants and trees will surround the playground too.
Whilst all ages can enjoy the new playgrounds, much of the equipment is designed for 8-13 year-olds.
Surrey councillor Chris Reynolds, Portfolio Holder for Environment, said:
“The Council would like to thank everyone who voted in the consultation. Its members have not only been raising additional funds for the Ashtead scheme but have also helped us during the consultation process.
“The winning designs look fabulous; I can’t wait for the playgrounds to be built. These projects are all about the wellbeing of children in Ashtead, Beare Green and the surrounding areas. The benefits of the playgrounds are irrefutable: they will help local children to lead happier, healthier lives.”
A start date for the building work will be announced soon.

Hi,
I can’t find a contact us link and I presume you will pick this up. Can you contact me about fast broadband on the Capel exchange?
Ta,
Simon
I am absolutley furious that today I have JUST discovered that all the trees in front of my house are being cut down for this project.
I live OPPOSITE ( 15 yards )what would appear to be the proposed site and have had absolutlely NO correspondence from Mole Valley regarding the siting OR build start date.
How can the only bit of woodland left in the village be cut down, to build on when there is already appx 2 acres of “Playground” and green to site it on.
Please forward on a contact number for me to speak to a councellor or builder regartreding this project.

The smaller playground is now open – there were some people in it on Sunday!
Thanks Jamie… I think that was us? We were there ~10am. There are some significant improvements.
I do wonder when the main playground will open?
