Arborfield Pavilion Extension - Phase 2

Arborfield Park Pavilion- Phase 2 Refurbishment and Extension

Arborfield and Newland Parish Council owns one of the best public park and recreation facilities in the Borough of Wokingham. Recently the pavilion at the park has undergone a long overdue partial refurbishment to become the home of a new Montessori nursery.

A further refurbishment and extension of the pavilion is now planned.
