Play areas

9. Which approach to play areas would you most like to see?

You can tick more than one.

Play that uses natural materials – large logs to balance on, stones to climb, loose materials to dig in. No plastic equipment.

Play that uses the landscape itself – slopes, mounds, channels and changes in ground level become the play feature. Children can roll down hills, jump across streams or explore.

Traditional play equipment – swings, slides and climbing frames on safety surfacing.

Natural play loosely woven into the wider landscape – rather than a single dedicated play area, natural play features scattered informally throughout the green spaces.

Anything specific you would like to see for children and young people.

Spaces for young people and teens

We have spoken to a number of young people across the city. Their thoughts have been incredibly valuable and focus on the need for places they can spend time with friends, be independent and feel part of the community that are safe, welcoming and close to home. As you answer this section, please think about your children or grandchildren, nieces and nephews and how South Canterbury can most benefit them.
