Play Areas

Parks and Open Spaces - play ground Play is an essential part of every child's life and is vital for their development . It provides the mechanism for children to explore the world around them and a medium through which skills are developed and practised.

In play, children learn by doing. Through experimenting with their growing mental and physical abilities, children learn and gain in skills and confidence. Part of this learning process is through their mistakes and on occasions these mistakes will result in injury.
