The Recreation Ground lies at the centre of the village on The Clappers – the stretch of road between the High Street and Northbridge Street. It provides a large open space for games and general recreation and houses the village football pitch. It is also used for other occasional events and celebrations, including the annual bonfire and fireworks display in November organised by the Robertsbridge Bonfire Society and the annual Summer Event organised by a group of volunteers, including Councillors and other interested residents.
There is an enclosed playground with modern play equipment for younger children and an adjacent open area with several items of equipment suitable for older children. There are also several pieces of adult exercise equipment. A small car park houses the pavilion which provides changing facilities for sports clubs, and public conveniences which are open daily.
Whilst there are no public footpaths across the Recreation Ground, there is access to the adjacent Pocket Park and the public footpath that runs between the two (16a), giving access to the wider footpath network. But please remember that dogs must be on a lead throughout the Recreation Ground, are not allowed in the enclosed play area, and you must clean up after your dog (The Public Spaces Protection Order (No.1B) (Rother District Council) Order 2024.
