Penton Recreation Centre
The Penton Village Fund (charity number 301915) owns the Penton Village Hall and the Recreation Ground at the heart of the villages. It is managed by the Penton Recreational Committee (PRC) whose members are shown on the next page. We lease parts of the Recreation Ground and pavilion to the Penton Cricket Club and Penton Tennis Club, both of whom have seats on the PRC. We’ve also added a children’s playground, basketball hoop, football practice goal and other items to the ground.
The Penton Recreation Centre has its own separate website
