Description
Elms Park is an historic park covering approximately 6.736 acres which was originally gifted to the people of Thame in 1948 by Leonard Purser of The Elms, Thame. Elms Park is situated in a conservation area in the south of Thame, adjacent to John Hampden primary school. The park is used by a wide section of the community and includes a multi-use games area (MUGA) and a children's play area.
The current play area is approximately 1,389m2 and was installed in the 1970s and has fallen into disrepair. The Council wishes to use this opportunity to renovate the play area and maximise the potential of the site.
