Smaller More Local Playgrounds on the Way
The Council's Playground Programme is under review with a focus on the approach to playground provision in the county. Up to now, playground provision has been focussed on larger destination type playgrounds in the Council's Regional Parks and specific Neighbourhood Parks while a network of small local playgrounds has been provided in association with Community Centres around the county.
Given that the costs associated with these large proposals are prohibitive and that the facilities previously developed often lie some distance from local residents, a significant change to this approach is now under active consideration. Proposals for a network of smaller, more local playgrounds that ensure a broader distribution of facilities is being developed.
