Cawley Lane play area
About the site
Cawley Lane Play Area is a community park, located in the Heckmondwike Ward. Kirklees Council has funding to improve this play area as part of the Kirklees Playable Spaces Strategy.
We aim to make the play provision at this site more appealing, and accessible to all age groups, by incorporating natural play with traditional play equipment, ensuring that our communities can enjoy the fantastic opportunities which play can bring.
Play in the outdoors has the potential to have a large and important role in a child's physical, social, and cognitive development, it is also not reserved solely for children and young people. It should be encouraged at all stages of life, with many additional benefits experienced by individuals and communities.
