Play Strategy
A Play Strategy has been developed to inform future development and delivery of play services throughout Torbay.
We are also aware of all the latest innovations from playground manufacturers of playground equipment.
In order to provide equipment to suit the users, we undertake surveys to identify further play needs. This also includes working in partnership to achieve joint initiatives such as the two skate parks at Victoria Park, Paignton and Windmill Hill Recreation Ground, Hele. There are further projects planned.
