Vale of White Horse District Council are investing £320,000 in the Abbey Meadow play area, with an area based on Abingdon Abbey, and another based on the River Thames and Abingdon Lock.
This will use the same area as the current play area,
the crazy golf,
and the tennis courts.

The Vale of White Horse District Council is giving people an extra incentive to shop locally for their presents this year by offering even more free parking days in the run up to Christmas.
In Abingdon that means that all the Saturdays from now until Christmas have all day free parking – 26 November and 3, 10, 17 and 24 December.
