Play Areas

Herefordshire Council play areas are managed and maintained by the Parks, Countryside and Leisure Development Service. All equipment in these play areas complies with the British Safety Standards and all new play areas that are installed now also comply with the European Safety Guidelines and the Disability Discrimination Act.

All play areas undergo regular safety checks to ensure they are not damaged by vandalism or natural wear and tear and continue to meet health and safety requirements.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) also undertakes inspections of all play areas in the county each year.
