Play Days

The Play Development section also run play days in the Borough, throughout the year.

Outdoor play for children is essential, not just for their physical fitness, but for their overall health, well-being and happiness.… but is their environment fit for play?

Playday 2006 will highlight these connected themes: -

1. The fundamental importance of free play in providing physical activity for all ages of children, as well as promoting their healthy social and emotional development.

2. The problems that children and young people face in finding somewhere suitable to play - and what needs to be done.
