Over recent years Goytre Fawr Community Council has worked hard to develop the Recreation Park in Goytre village into a space to be enjoyed by young and old. It has now paid for further improvements so that the safety surfaces meet European standards, and the community council also makes regular contributions to Monmouth-shire County Council towards the ongoing maintenance of the area.

Clerk Ian Price said, "This facility is now in excellent condition for the local community to enjoy for many years to come, at a time when spaces such as this are at a premium."
