Playgrounds and Adventure Playgrounds

The following is a list of Childrens Playsites currently maintained and under the control of South Bedfordshire District Council. This work is carried out through the Cultural and Housing Services Teams.

There are many other playsites in the District that are under the control of the Town Councils (see below), Parish Councils and Private Developers.

We are currently seeking to develop a policy for the future control and maintenance of all playsites in the district.

As a matter of good practice, we inspect all playgrounds under our control on a regular basis and endeavour to:

  • Keep the play areas well maintained;
  • Keep the play area clean and free from litter;
  • Keep the play area free from dogs (where appropriate);
  • Provide safety surfacing for each piece of equipment that requires it;
  • Provide working self closing gates to each play area;
  • Provide an information sign at each play area;
  • Provide an emergency phone number to report damage to: 01582 474167 or 01582 474101 (24 hour answerphone).

You can help us to help you by telling us when things are not working.
