As part of the new Whitnash Civic Centre & Library project, the already established measured mile track at Acre Close park needed to be moved.

However, due to the footprint of the new building, and with the new football and rugby pitches being repositioned, it was clear that there was very limited scope to retain the measured mile track at Acre Close.
The original track had been installed using grant funding some years ago. Rather than lose the facility altogether, it was decided to look at the possibility of creating something similar at Washbourne Field instead. Washbourne Field has benefitted from considerable investment in recent times, thanks to Whitnash Town Council, who secured funding to completely replace and upgrade the play equipment, and put in new security measures, paths and benches.

The new measured mile track is the latest addition to Washbourne Field, and was funded by both Whitnash Town Council and (thanks to the good work of Whitnash Town and District councillors) also Warwick District Council.
