WELCOME TO BATH RECREATION
Our mission is ‘providing opportunities for our community to lead healthy, active and happy lives’. This is why we exist; to enable people of all ages within our community to have the opportunity to enhance and enjoy their lives through recreation.
Being financially sustainable is an absolute keystone to our purpose; our history and longevity ensure that we are here to stay and will continue to provide opportunities during the following decades and for future generations.
We provide these opportunities via an array of programmes delivered at our properties which include The Bath Recreation Ground, The Glasshouse Academy Pavilion and Grounds and Broadmoor Lane Orchard & Play Park.
We have inspiring relationships with numerous schools, clubs, organisations, partners, pupils, parents and other charities throughout the community of Bath and surrounding areas.
Ultimately, we are driven by a desire to help people to enjoy recreational activities so that they can lead healthy, active and happy lives.

Bath Recreation provides opportunities for everyone to enjoy our recreational facilities through our property, facilities and programmes in order to nurture positive lifestyles.
We are committed to doing good, being part of the community and helping people thrive and lead a better lifestyle through recreation. We are compassionate and empathetic.

WHAT
The premise for anything that we do needs to answer the question – is it nurturing positive lifestyles, or can it contribute to Bath Recreation providing opportunities for the community to lead healthy, active and happy lives.
The key activities are the Glasshouse Academy (out of school) and Buds (in-school) programmes that provide children with the best opportunities to grow and become future employees and for them to contribute to their communities and enjoy recreation in and near Bath.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
- The Glasshouse Academy
- The Buds Programme
- Positive Life Experiences
- Creating Future Role Models
WHO
Bath Recreation’s audience includes the young and the old and everyone in between, from diverse backgrounds, genders and ethnicities. Bath Recreation is for the benefit of the public at large and is open to all.
