## Description

Long Barn Lane Recreation Ground is a neighbourhood park \(3\.29 hectares\) situated to the south of Reading's town centre in Katesgrove Ward\. It is surrounded by housing on all sides and despite it being primarily used as a through-route, it is popular with local residents\. The park provides a number of sporting and recreational activities including a BMX track, multi-use games wall with tarmac surface for football, basketball and cricket, a small \(fenced\) children's play area for toddlers along with a limited selection of items of unfenced play equipment for children over 8 years of age\. The recreation ground serves a population of higher than average deprivation and higher than average levels of anti-social behaviour\. To support more constructive use of the site by teenagers, Reading Borough Council is seeking to improve the existing BMX track to encourage active participation in physical activity all year round\. This was a closed quick quote tender where suppliers were invited to apply via RBCs In-Tend e-tendering system
