Have your say on the future of our city's playgrounds

Still time to shape the future of play in Newcastle! 🌟

We’re investing £1.5 million to transform play areas across the city – and we want YOUR ideas to make it happen!

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback online or joined our first three drop-in events – there is still another event to come. There’s still time to have your say!

Our goal? Inclusive, accessible spaces where children of all abilities can play side by side – from sensory equipment to natural play features.

This is about more than play equipment – it’s about community pride, family fun, and making Newcastle accessible for everyone.

✅ Four new enhanced parks: Blakelaw Park, Riverside Country Park, Elswick Park & City Stadium (Ouseburn)
✅ Improvements to existing play areas in Parklands, Castle, Chapel, Arthurs Hill, Benwell & Scotswood, Byker & Walkergate
✅ Designs shaped by local children, parents & families

Since 2019, we’ve invested £2m to improve 66 play spaces – now let’s make the next chapter even better!

👉 Have your say today via our online survey (link in comments). Your ideas matter!
