How would you like your play spaces to look?
-
What kind of play experience do you want at your play area?
-
What equipment should we replace and what changes are needed?
-
Are there
specific local issues that need addressing?
It's vital to the success of each and every project that we involve as
many local people as we can.
Year 1 projects are all but complete
now, but if you would like to ensure that you or someone you know is
involved in Year 2
play area projects, please contact Sarah any time.

Follow the
links above for pictures. Thanks to everyone who braved
the cold and damp to come out to help celebrate. Thanks too to
our 'troupe' - the "Play Thinkers", the Play Rangers, street performers
Flame,
and the Big Chief ice cream van (and Joel & Jade, above) who stayed with us
through all five events.
We were also
joined by
Carolyn Port, Regional Development Officer for
Play England, who said: "The Poole
Playbuilder team have worked extremely hard and shown great
commitment to complete these play areas as part of the DCSF capital
programme. Their work has resulted in some excellent new play
opportunities for young people in Poole."
