Play facilities

Information about play facilities including playgrounds and outdoor/indoor play areas.

We adopted a Play area strategy for unsupervised outdoor children's playgrounds following consultation with local groups in 2003. We recognise the needs of local children to have a safe place to play, and sets out how children's play opportunities will be improved, with particular emphasis on those areas of the Borough with greatest need.

A play policy for Solihull is currently being developed to address the wider issues about play, identify further play opportunities and raise the profile of play in Solihull.

We currently manage playgrounds, catering for toddler and junior age groups, and also provide facilities for young people on several sites. We aim to encourage inclusive play with items of equipment in a number of playgrounds suitable for all children including wheelchair users. Our playgrounds strike a balance between providing challenging and stimulating play and learning opportunities, whilst meeting current safety requirements. All play facilities are inspected on a daily basis to ensure our playgrounds are as safe as possible.
