Verulamium at Play is a community-led local charity (charity no. 1170476), that is working in partnership with St Albans Council, to raise money to revamp the play area in the district’s flagship park. 

Our vision is to replace the 30 year old, out-dated play equipment in Verulamium Park with a modern, stimulating play area that encourages outdoor, adventurous and imaginative play for today’s children, and for future generations. 

The existing playground, and many others in the area, make little or no provision for disabled access and inclusive play. We will ensure that the new play area will be inclusive and accessible to all.

We aim to relaunch the playground in Spring 2019.

The overall cost of the project is estimated to be in the region of £250,000. This will pay for the play equipment and also ground works. As Verulamium Park is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, it is likely that ground works will be necessary to protect the underlying archaeology - the site of the Roman city of Verulamium.

There are already over £50,000 of funds in place for this project.

The target we need to raise by Summer 2018 is therefore £200,000.

Please help us reach our target by donating on this page, using text-to-donate, or creating your own fundraising events. You can create your own fundraising pages on our behalf here on JustGiving.

For text-to-donate, you can donate £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10. For example for a donation of £10, text PARK18 £10 to 70070.

We want this to be a community spirit-led initiative, so if you’re a business, school or community group and have a bigger idea, please get in touch and get involved!
