Outdoor play significantly contributes to a child's physical, social, and cognitive development. However, it is not just for children and young people; it should be encouraged throughout life, offering numerous benefits to individuals and communities alike.

Our goal is to enhance and expand the play facilities at this site, making them accessible to a variety of ages and abilities.
