Wilberfoss, Kexby & Newton Upon Derwent Playing Fields Association

Wilberfoss, Kexby & Newton upon Derwent Playing Fields Association

Registered Charity No: 523311

Responsible for all things recreational in Wilberfoss, a group of around 10 volunteers makes up the Playing Fields Association.  The site includes the senior and junior play areas,  outdoor table tennis table, a number of trim trails, 7+ acres of playing fields, 4 tennis courts, a Sports Pavilion and car park. 


The Pavilion has a licensed bar and kitchen and serves alcohol and food from Wednesdays to Sundays.  Please enquire to Wilberfoss Pavilion  for use of the function room for a private event. 

With a focus on fundraising, the Pavilion and grounds have seen some major improvements since 2010. Floodlighting and CCTV have raised safety standards and complement the four Football Foundation approved changing rooms at the Sports Pavilion.  A table tennis table and a number of  trim trails have added to the recreational facilities on site.   If you're inspired by the work of the PFA and you'd like to get involved talk to Andy Parkin, the PFA Chairman. 

Wilberfoss AFC

Celebrating its centenary year in 2017, Wilberfoss AFC has benefitted enormously from the refurbished changing rooms at the Pavilion.

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Olympic/Paralympic Mural & Community Garden

The Queens' Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics inspired 3 youngsters from Wilberfoss CE Primary School to build a community space that won them first prize in a Humberside Police initiative.  The Humberside Police Lifetstyle Project encourages children to make a difference in their community and their project won them a trip to Florida!  The girls had the help of Wilberfoss Parish Council and Wilberfoss Playing Fields Association who installed the table tennis table and Wilberfoss in Bloom who helped to design and plant the wildlife garden.

Wilberfoss Jubilee Play Area

Between 1999 and 2003 a group of hardworking volunteers raised funds to transform the tatty wooden Play Area, re-naming it The Wilberfoss Jubilee Play Area to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002.  They were ably assisted in their desire to provide a first rate facility  by a huge number of families and local businesses who sponsored metres of the fencing surrounding the site.  The grass is maintained by Wilberfoss Parish Council's grounds maintenance contractor and volunteers from the Playing Fields Association are responsible for  safety issues.  A voluntary litter picker patrols the site on a weekly basis but thankfully most of the children  use the litter bins provided!
