The group has already overseen the lopping of trees along the roadside and carried out drainage and improvement work to the existing football pitches.
It has received a �5,000 grant from Grass Roots to provide a path from the Woodcote Sheltered Hous-ing complex to Ketts Close to give residents easier access to the village centre.
The plans are supported by South Norfolk district councillor David Bills who said: "We will be consulting with the community every step of the way."
