About the site

Bridon Way, Manor Park Road play areas are located in the Cleckheaton Ward, and we have secured funding from Kirklees Council to improve this space as part of the Kirklees Playable Spaces Strategy.

Our goal is to make the play provision more appealing and accessible to all age groups by incorporating natural play with traditional play equipment. We believe that outdoor play is crucial for children's physical, social, and cognitive development, and it should be encouraged at all stages of life for its numerous benefits.
