King George V Playing Fields public realm and landscaping improvements
King George V Playing fields are the leisure heart of Guisborough with the leisure centre, Swimming Pool, Bowls Club, Tennis Club and Football Club all located on this site.
Proposals to improve to the play provision at King George V, including a new skate park with associated landscaping, replacement of recreation apparatus, a PlayZone facility, new lighting and CCTV to help deter anti-social behaviour have been approved by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council’s planning committee this month.
You can see the latest plans HERE
Now that planning permission has been granted, works will start in Summer 2025.
This intervention will increase the usage of King George V Playing Field and encourage physical activity to provide health and wellbeing benefits to local residents and visitors.

Share Hi do the plans include a bike track ? Skelton & Brotton have half decent set ups. A skate park is a good idea but a focus on bicycles would be more beneficial as guisborough has great cycling links in my opinion.

David doyle asked 8 months agoDear David,
Thank you for getting in touch.
Please note that the areas of development, for KGV Playing Fields, within this project plan are intended for community use and open to all.
Plans for the football field adjacent to Guisborough Town FC are not related to this project, therefore we are unable to comment.
Thank you.

Thank you for your question.
We are currently delivering public engagement sessions and collating survey responses before moving onto final designs and procuring a contractor to deliver works. We anticipate that the project will be completed by December 2025. Please check the website for further updates on timescales in the meantime. Thank you.

Share As mentioned, a trim trail would be extremely beneficial. As will the BMX track, stake park and the play areas. More dog waste bins to encourage dog owners to use would be helpful. Also why are the public potentially losing a huge area of the field to Guisborough Town FC? So the club can use this area of land for a profit making business. It is pubic land. on Facebook Share As mentioned, a trim trail would be extremely beneficial. As will the BMX track, stake park and the play areas.

Rory asked 8 months agoDear Rory,
Thank you for your comments. We would encourage you to also share these on our newly released online survey that you can access by clicking the following link: King George V Playing Fields Survey (September 2024) | YourVoiceMatters (engagementhq.com).
We are unable to comment on Guisborough Town FC’s intention regarding the adjacent football pitch to their stadium, as it is not within scope of KGV Playing Fields plans.
Thank you.

Share I think we should fund for a public, free Astroturf where people can just show up and have fun, we already have a playing field but the goals have no nets and the grass isn’t cut regularly so I think an Astroturf would be a great, long term addition to Guisborough as it wouldn’t need much assistance. on Facebook Share I think we should fund for a public, free Astroturf where people can just show up and have fun, we already have a playing field but the goals have no nets and the grass isn’t cut regularly so I think an Astroturf would be a great, long term addition to Guisborough as it wouldn’t need much assistance. on Twitter Share I think we should fund for a public, free Astroturf where people can just show up and have fun, we already have a playing field but the goals have no nets and the grass isn’t cut regularly so I think an Astroturf would be a great, long term addition to Guisborough as it wouldn’t need much assistance. on Linkedin Email I think we should fund for a public, free Astroturf where people can just show up and have fun, we already have a playing field but the goals have no nets and the grass isn’t cut regularly so I think an Astroturf would be a great, long term addition to Guisborough as it wouldn’t need much assistance. link
