New Play Park Opens at The Willows

15 September 2025

Children living at The Willows development in Downham Market were given the honour of officially opening a brand new play park.

Recently completed by the Persimmon Homes East Midlands team. Children were welcomed to the play park by Amanda Jones, Sales Manager and Sue Newcombe, Sales Advisor.

The new facility has been designed as a safe, inclusive, and fun space for families on The Willows, Downham Market development and within the wider community, offering a range of play equipment for children of all ages to enjoy.

To mark the occasion, a special unveiling event was held where local children cut the ribbon and were among the first to try out the new equipment.

Amy Rowlands, Sales Director for Persimmon Homes East Midlands, said:

“It was fantastic to see the smiles on the children’s faces as they explored the new play area. At Persimmon Homes, we’re committed to creating not just homes but thriving communities, and this new park is a great example of that. We hope it brings enjoyment to local families for years to come.”

The Willows development forms part of Persimmon Home’s commitment to supporting healthy, active lifestyles and fostering strong community ties through thoughtful planning and investment in local infrastructure.
