This land is owned by Sir Randle Guy Feilden (or his successors in title) and the Parish Council has, since November 1971, held a memorandum of agreement to use the land as “the village playing ground”.
The Parish Council is responsible for the two playgrounds in the village – one on the open space known as Chalcroft( above), at the junction of Curbridge Road and Witney Road, and one known as Glebelands between the tennis court and sports pavilion at the car park on Aston Road.
Ducklington Sports Club is the primary user of the sports field, although they don’t have exclusive rights. The Sports Club does not have a lease for use of the field, but is charged an annual “pitch hire” charge.
