Cross Lane play area
About the site
The Cross Lane play area is located within the village of Skelmanthorpe, in the Denby Dale ward of Kirklees. This site sits within existing open greenspace and serves the surrounding residential communities.
Outdoor play supports physical, social and cognitive development and benefits people of all ages. The aim of this project is to enhance and expand the play facilities, creating inclusive spaces that can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages and abilities.
