Official Opening of the new sports area at the Morgan Rec
Photography by Kevin Poolman
Crowthorne Parish Council were joined by Edgbarrow School, Finchampstead FC and local residents to celebrate the installation of the new sports area at the Morgan Rec which has already proved popular over the summer holidays.
Crowthorne Parish Councillor, Tina McKenzie-Boyle welcomed more than 150 people to the Morgan Rec. She said “This is a fantastic new, free facility for Crowthorne – it's accessible, local and inspires everyone to get out, keep moving and stay healthy. It is a great addition to the rec; brilliant for youngsters and adults alike.”
Before cutting the ribbon, Mr Matthews, Edgbarrow Head teacher, reminded students that physical activity is great for both head and heart. He said “It boosts energy, and improves both mental health and concentration levels - perfect for getting all that school work completed!
Tracktastic!
Pupils from Wildmoor Heath School, and The Ark and Crowthorne Preschool joined Bracknell Mayor, Councillor Naheed Ejaz and former cricketer Iain Sutcliffe at the Morgan Rec to celebrate the official opening of the new exercise track. Cllr Ejaz said "It is a great new facility for Crowthorne - ideal for families with little ones learning to ride bikes and scooters. It is a brilliant location for having some outdoor fun and exercise then popping into the High Street for some shopping."

Crowthorne Millennium Mural restoration
Community action is a core part of Wellington College’s Global Citizenship programme. Pupils are encouraged to explore and follow their passions, whilst developing Global Citizenship competencies and their own personal growth. Shreya and Amy have been doing just that by taking on a project a stone’s throw away in Crowthorne High Street. After noticing the Crowthorne Millennium Mural had weathered away, the pupils picked up their paint brushes to breathe life back into the 23 year old street art.
Crowthorne C of E Primary School and Parish Council Climate Summit
6th December 2022
Elected Members from Crowthorne C of E Primary School’s Eco Club and the Eco Club Lead, Mrs Brodrick, met with Crowthorne Parish Councillors on 6 December to discuss the climate, biodiversity, and ecology projects the school, and Council, is working on at present.
New path in the Walter
Recreation Ground
Recreation Ground
 |
The popular, local, cut-through to the High Street and pedestrian crossing, is now more useable throughout the whole year. |
The steep, rooted path has been closed off for safety reasons. Please keep on the new path so the vegetation can start to recolonise the disturbed areas.
In addition to letting natural regeneration take its course, we will be sowing woodland wildflower seed which has kindly been donated by Wellington College. If the vegetation has a chance to thrive untrampled, this area will be a valuable wildlife habitat by this time next year.
Funding for this path was awarded by Involve and The National Lottery Community Fund. The Walter Recreation Ground is managed by the Walter Recreation Ground Charity.

Enjoy new walking and cycling routes in
Bracknell Forest
Bracknell Forest
New circular walking and cycling routes have been created across Bracknell Forest, to encourage residents to make the most of the borough’s excellent traffic-free network, to stay active and explore the borough on foot, or by bike.
Routes range from 10 to 20 kilometres in length, and there are five in total to try. Maps of the routes can be downloaded online and there are also colour-coded stickers on lampposts along the way to keep you on track.
Cllr Chris Turrell, Executive Member for Planning and Transport said:
“The launch of these routes is one of the many steps Bracknell Forest Council is taking to boost more active ways to travel around the borough.
