Eat or smoke in the play area
PLEASE REMEMBER
The use of tube slides, playhouses and tunnels should be minimised
No shouting, because this can spread the virus
PLEASE DO
Sanitise your hands before entering the play area and again after leaving
Supervise children at all times

Play Safe!
Our parks teams are working through the many new measures needed in light of the current Coronavirus pandemic. Users of the facilities will be reminded of the need to keep a distance from other users and parents should take responsibility for their children and ensure they play apart from others, are respectful of queues for play equipment and play considerately by not hogging equipment that others are waiting for.
Food will not be allowed in or around the play areas and all users, including children, will need to remember to wash their hands or use hand sanitiser after using the equipment. Its important that users follow our guidance and use the areas responsibly, so everyone can enjoy them
The opening of play areas is slightly later than the provisional date given by the government, we understand that this may be frustrating to some residents, but please be patient and only use our facilities when we have assessed them, and they are as safe as possible to do so.
