This sub-committee acted as the trustee for the Mapledurham Playing Fields, overseeing and promoting the charitable trust's objectives. Its primary aim was to provide and maintain a recreation ground for the benefit of residents in the Parish of Mapledurham and the Borough of Reading. The sub-committee also responded to proposals from bodies like the Education & Skills Funding Agency that could affect the trust's objectives. Its functions transferred to the Trustees Sub-Committee in May 2022.
