Decision details
L29 25/26 - Plymouth’s Playable Spaces
Decision Maker: Delegated Decisions, Leader of the Council
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The decision to approve the business case will
enable the investment which aims to create a sustainable, safe, and
highquality network of play spaces across Plymouth by addressing
ageing equipment and rising maintenance pressures. Despite previous
investment, many sites now require further improvement, and without
action the city risks losing quality play provision. The proposal
sets out a longterm plan to prioritise investment, modernise play
areas, and better align them with community needs. It will focus on
delivering flagship destination sites, new natural play spaces, and
quickwin safety improvements, ensuring children and young people
continue to have accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable places to
play across the city.
