Information about this open space

This site, together with the adjacent football fields, has been transformed from a bland, open area with few facilities into a much valued and well-used community green space. The Haughton Green Community Forum working in partnership woth Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council and Groundwork Tameside and with the assistance of Doorstep Green, Fairshare and other grant awards, have created a space boasting a new playground, improved paths and general ‘kick about’ area, an all weather multi use games area and a wildlife area. A disused bowling green has also been renovated. A brand new Neighbourhood Centre is due to be completed in early 2008 and will form the focus for community events on the whole site. In particular, it will form the base for the newly formed bowling club which is now able to enjoy the excellent bowling green which was brought back into play in 2007. The Community Forum welcomes everyone to enjoy the facilities provided by the green and Neighbourhood Centre.
