Heamoor Old School Field

We own and maintain Heamoor Old School Field, located on Madron Road

Recent improvements

In September 2020, we sent a survey to every address in Heamoor to ask what improvements residents wanted to see at the field.

We had 296 responses, which is over 24% of the households in Heamoor!

The most asked-for improvements were:

Improved access to the field
Improved accessibility for people with mobility issues
New Benches
New play/gym equipment
Planting to encourage wildlife

The HGVs

We have a brilliant group of local volunteers known as the HGVs (the Heamoor Garden Volunteers) who help us to maintain the flower beds at the field!

“The Council have given us lots of bulbs, a few shrubs and 4 fruit trees and other gardeners are kindly offering us excess plants.

“The Heamoor Community Interest Organisation has also given us money towards the planting and they paid for the amalanchier tree which was chosen to celebrate the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.”

You’ll also see them out and about in the village as they also help to maintain other open spaces in Heamoor.

If you’d like to join the HGVs please email [email protected]

Please respect other visitors to the field by:

not allowing your dogs to enter the fenced play area

Bins

Dual waste and recycling bins have been installed on the field for general waste/dog waste and recycling. This forms part of our ‘in house’ actions to meet the aims of our Climate Emergency Plan.
