Stisted Parish Council has over the last months of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 been successful in obtaining grants from The National Lottery, Essex County Council and Braintree District Council for improvement projects.

Stisted has its own playing field in the centre of the village with access on foot from The Street or driveway for vehicles from Kings Lane. There are several pieces of adult gym equipment, a basketball hoop and table tennis table and well as a multigym and swings for younger children. Dogs on lead are welcome to walk on the field (but please put dog poo in the dog bins). There is the Owen Harrington Sports Pavilion at the end of the field.
There is direct access via a gate at the rear onto the footpath around the edge of the golf course.
The field is inspected weekly for safety by a fully qualified councillor. The field is also subject to an inspection carried out on behalf of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents
During 2026, the Parish Council replaced the children’s multi-gym and installed an accessible roundabout. These were funded by a National Lottery Grant and the Essex Rural Prosperity Fund.
Also in 2026, electricity was installed in the Pavilion funded by a grant from Braintree District Council. This was much appreciated during the Village Fun Day held in July by those providing teas and coffees and also by those providing musical entertainment. The next large project is the provision of water/sewerage for the Pavilion.
