 King George V Playing Fields on Topsham Road
Have your say on plans to enhance and improve popular park
Ambitious plans to secure and enhance one of the city’s much-loved green spaces for future generations have been revealed.
Exeter City Community Trust (ECCT), the partner charity of the Exeter City Football Club, which delivers health and wellbeing services and activities across the city, has launched a consultation on the future of the King George V Playing Fields on Topsham Road.
The charity is working in partnership with Exeter City Council to explore options for the future of the 40-acre site. It has launched a public consultation to ensure the views of the entire community are heard as part of the planning process.
In addition to the consultation, ECCT is currently exploring grants and funding opportunities for the ambitious plans, which will see the community facility revived and restored for the public’s use.
