Summary extract of SCDC last Audit and conclusion on Longstanton existing recreational facilities and play areas (not including Hatton Park School's  and Rampton Drift Residents Association's own play areas). This assessment applies to date, October 2007 

Recreational facilities:

 'The village has one recreation ground with two football pitches, bowls green, two hard tennis courts and a cricket square.

Comparison with the Recommended Playspace Standard :

Hectares per 1000 population: 2.60
Village Population at 2001: 1693

Type Provision (hectares) NPFA Standard Requirement (hectares) Surplus/Shortfall (hectares)
Sport 3.00 2.71 +0.29 and Play Space 1.41 1.35 +0.06 
The population of Longstanton is set to increase by 50% and hence demand for recreational facilities is likely to increase also.'
