Street care and cleaning Children's play areas
Report a problem
If you want to report a problem in a play area or if you find a fault with any of the play equipment you can report it here.
Play areas are amongst the most important environments for young people outside the home. We're responsible for 51 play areas across the county, which are inspected and maintained on a regular basis by Street Scene Services. Further information about our play areas and locations can be found below. If a particular park isn't listed, this will be owned by another organisation such as a town or parish council.
Play equipment
Play helps to develop social skills, confidence, physical coordination, strength, and flexibility, which become lifelong skill sets that are carried forward into adulthood. Our play areas are designed with various play equipment apparatus, which provide spontaneous, enjoyable, challenging, stimulating and educational play for all ages, whilst meeting current safety requirements.

Safety
All sites are regularly inspected to ensure that the play areas are safe, the equipment is functioning properly, and the area is clean and cleared of debris and any harmful objects.
Inspection and maintenance of play areas
All our play equipment is thoroughly inspected to make sure that it's safe for continued use. Our Play Area Team are trained and certificated with The Register of Play Inspectors International (RPII). In between inspections regular maintenance takes place on equipment and on the surrounding greenspace.
Annual inspection
Yearly inspections are undertaken by independent members of the Association of Play Industries to ensure that our play areas continue to meet British and European safety standards. This inspection establishes the overall level of safety of the equipment, foundations and surfaces including maintenance issues, vandalism problems, wear and tear, weather-related issues and any installation faults. In addition, when new equipment is installed the equipment in question is subject to an independent post-installation inspection.
Play equipment repairs
Sometimes damaged play equipment can be repaired straight away. If this isn't possible the damaged item will be immobilised or taped off until it's possible for the repair to be made. If the repair requires the replacement of a standard item that's held in stock, a repair will be carried out as soon as possible.
Repairs requiring a non-standard item will take longer, as parts will usually have to be ordered. In these cases, we'll try to complete repairs within eight weeks, but this is dependent on the delivery time from our suppliers.
Occasionally, an item of equipment will be so badly damaged that it will cost more to repair the item than it's reasonably worth. In this case the equipment will be removed.
