The council approved the renovation plans today. We finally got the park our kids deserve. Keep an eye on the site for construction updates.

I have lived in merstham for 9 years with my husband and 4 children. In that time I have seen other local parks such as Reigate priory park and Queen's Park in caterham, reinvented twice with new climbing frames, swings and slides. Meanwhile Merstham park, has the same old, dangerous steel frames and boring equipment.
Merstham is hugely populated with families, with young children like myself. The regeneration will in time give rise to an ever increasing number of such families, who will have to travel to other local parks because the one we have is, as I have already said, dangerous, old, and quite frankly boring!
How can the council consider revamping priory park in Reigate when other parks such as Merstham need the money more? I'd like to see the park reinvented with better equipment, more variety and with more thought.
An increase in the number of families to the park will help to support our local parade of shops and improve the reputation of Merstham

The momentum is incredible. It is clear that our families deserve a safe place to play.

I live in Merstham and although my kids are grown I like to push my mum round the park in a wheelchair! The area could do with some tlc and the equipment in the playground needs an update.
With two little ones we really need a decent park in walking distance .. it'll help the property market and also will help with the regeneration that's happening .
I hate having to drive to Reigate or Redhill and struggle to park just to go to a decent playground. Merstham ALWAYS gets forgotten!!!!
I would love to see a revamp of Merstham Rec with a redesign of the playground - whilst the "road" is a great idea, it is difficult to manage two young children going in different directions when the playground is so long with a easy open gate at the far end. More variety of play equipment would also be great.
Was only there the other day removing a bike from the zip wire so the twins could go on it It's a lot smaller than Reigate park so would be so much cheaper and shouldn't take that long
It's a great area with bags of potential. Regeneration is greatly need though and would be appreciated by all family's using the facilities.
Yes please. Would be great. Memorial and Priory have been v well done. Look forward to some of that magic fairy dust sprinkled here...

I have lived here for 31 years and in all that time only once has the play park been upgraded. Please do something good for the children of Merstham.
