East Haddon Playing Field was given to the village in February 1950. Since then the facilities have developed into the smart recreational field that it is today.
The Field boasts a varied selection of children’s play equipment, a tennis court, a cricket square and a practice net, a tennis practice wall, table tennis and a football pitch.
The current pavilion was built in 1997 and offers changing facilities for home and away teams, kitchen, bar and a cosy social area with oak veranda.
An active committee regularly fund raises and manages the field and pavilion. Events include the annual Bonfire and Fireworks Night, Comedy Night, End of Summer Ball, Boxing Day Family Football Match, Family Fun Run/Walk, Raffles, BBQ evenings and Curry Nights.
The pavilion is available for hire for parties, family events, classes, meetings etc.
Currently we have Youth Club, sewing classes and keep fit classes being held regularly in the building and twice a week there is an outdoor fitness class as well.
