Barton Way play area refurbishment consultation

We asked the public for their views on proposals for the reimagining of Barton Way Play Area, Croxley Green, as the equipment has become end of life and/or no longer meets the needs of the local community.

It is anticipated that the play area will be a blend between play and nature, creating a biodiverse habitat space that can be enjoyed whilst children play, will encourage interaction with nature and contribute to green corridors passing through the district.

Local residents, visitors and key stakeholder views were very important to help shape the final design of the play area with the council’s commitment to the vision for Three Rivers to be a great place to live, work and visit; underpinned by our objectives.

This consultation closed on 4 August 2025 at 12noon.

You can view the final reports, data and final designs on the right hand side of this project page.

Update - December 2025:

We are pleased to advise that the permitted development planning application for Barton Way Play Area refurbishment has been approved. Works will begin on site from 5 January 2026.
