Dowlish Wake Playing Field Trust exists to benefit the community of Dowlish Wake and the surrounding villages by maintaining the facilities at the Playing Field in the village which was originally donated by Lawrence Kellet in 1973.

Dowlish Wake owes an enormous debt to a local man (see above) who donated the Playing Field to the village. The Charity owns and manages this facility for the local communities which includes, not only local villages, but many families from Chard and Ilminster.

Sport, leisure and recreation in beautiful surroundings. We have 90 year old's playing Croquet, 5 year old's playing on the adventure playground and a whole host of ages inbetween enjoying fresh air and exercise. The site is home to the Dowlish and Donyatt Football Club and the Dowlish Wake Golf Croquet Club. Both clubs play teams in South West Leagues.
