Purpose

The decision to approve the business case will enable the investment which aims to create a sustainable, safe, and highquality network of play spaces across Plymouth by addressing ageing equipment and rising maintenance pressures. Despite previous investment, many sites now require further improvement, and without action the city risks losing quality play provision. The proposal sets out a longterm plan to prioritise investment, modernise play areas, and better align them with community needs. It will focus on delivering flagship destination sites, new natural play spaces, and quickwin safety improvements, ensuring children and young people continue to have accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable places to play across the city.
