Play areas in the borough

The council adopted a policy for unsupervised children's playgrounds following consultation with local groups. The council recognises the needs of local children to have a safe place to play, and sets out how children's play opportunities will be improved, with particular emphasis on those areas of the Borough with greatest need.

The council currently manages 35 playgrounds, catering for age groups ranging from four years to twelve years, with teenage equipment on several sites. The council's playgrounds strike a balance between providing challenging and stimulating play and learning and meeting current safety requirements.
