Fairfield Playground

Set in one of the most attractive play areas in the city, with plenty of space around it for picnicking or relaxing as well as playing, people come from across the city to use the playground.

Fairfield Association volunteers:

  • maintain the equipment
  • raise funds
  • keep the area clean and tidy

Make a Donation

We have successfully raised the funds to replace the playground, but we still have ongoing maintenance costs that we always need help with. If you think you can spare some cash to help keep the playground looking lovely then please make a donation.
