All of our portfolio projects will comply with the '3-frees' play principle; where children will be free to come and go, access the
facility for free and will be free to do what they choose when the get there.
Each project will increase the level of access for children and young people to high quality play space.
A number of people will benefit from the development of these new
facilities including Children and young people and a number of organisations including schools, youth groups,
Friends of the Park, residents groups and Gentoo (social housing provider).
