Bath & North East Somerset Council believes that playtime
is an important part of a child's development. We are committed to
providing areas, facilities & support that promotes lifelong
learning, fitness & helps to make Bath & North East
Somerset a better place to work, live & visit.
Provision of playtime facilities & support cuts across a
number of Council departments, examples are:
Children's play areas & playgrounds
There are numerous playgrounds & play areas in our area.
These are maintained by various bodies, including
Parish & Town Councils and the Somer Community Housing
Trust (full list will be available soon). Bath & North East
Somerset Council is responsible for maintaining 47 facilities,
and these are listed below. We aim to provide well
equipped, safe and clean sites so that children can play in
safety.
We have embarked on a fully planned, on-going replacement
programme. The refurbishment is carried out with the benefit of
feedback from our residents and visitors (before a site is due for
refurbishment, we consult with many people - local residents,
users, equalities people amongst others - and we use this
information to get better facilities).
If you experience any problems or have any concerns, please do
not hesitate to either email, or call
(please include information on the issues & the
location).
