About the site

Bankfield Lane Recreation Ground, Fields Way/Rise Open Space, and Sunnyhill Avenue play area are located within the Dalton ward of Kirklees.

Bankfield Lane Recreation Ground and Fields Way/Rise Open Space are community parks, and Sunnyhill Avenue play area serves the community as a small local play site. They are all within walking distance of one another.

Due to their proximity we have decided to create design proposals for all 3 sites at the same time, in a masterplan for the area. This is so that they can complement each other and provide a wide array of play opportunities for the wider area and promote active travel between all sites.

Project Overview

Using feedback collected in an initial community consultation, we have now created 3 designs which we feel meet the needs of end users.

We'd like the community to view the designs and feedback to us what they think. Based on the feedback received, we will then make any amendments to the design that are practicable before implementing the final design (as agreed with your Local Ward Councillors) on site.
