Why we provide play areas and youth facilities

Parks and open spaces provide the ideal opportunity for active recreation. They support healthy living and provide a stimulating, creative and adventurous environment for people of all ages to enjoy.

Play areas and youth facilities can help your family achieve recommended guidelines for moderate intensity exercise - at least 1 hour a day for children and young people and 5 x 30 minutes a week for adults.

Play areas and youth facilities:

• offer all children and teenagers the opportunity to play in a stimulating, creative and adventurous environment;
• allow children and teenagers to play together safely;
• encourage children and teenagers to be active and keep healthy;
• provide, as far as possible, a safe, healthy and secure play environment that is within easy reach of home.
