The Sports and Recreation Ground was put in Trust to the Parish Council in 1929.  The Sports and Recreation Ground Management Committee are responsible for the day to day management of the facility. Facilities include a Pavilion (for Hire), Zip Wire, Outdoor Exercise Equipment, Skateboard Park, BMX Cycle track and basket ball nets. The local Scout Hut is also located on site.

 

The Management Committee in consultation with the Parish Council continue to work on maintaining, developing and seek funding for  projects to enhance the grounds and facilities.   A Sports Ground Strategy document has been prepared by Shelisflyyn which outlines plans for the proposed regeneration of the Sports and Recreation Ground.  Great Yeldham Sports Ground Strategy

 

 The Zip Wire was installed in July 2019 to kick start the project; the outdoor exercise equipment was installed in September 2021 and plans are in progress for the MUGA (multi-use games area).  Depending on funding other draft plans include a bespoke gate and signage wall to the sports ground to reinforce the sense of community ownership,  a 600m jogging/walking track, extended skate park, revamped BMX track.
