There are 72 play areas in Ipswich, managed by the Borough Council. They range from large parks to community areas.
The Council has extended its provision to include a skate park near Stoke Bridge as well as smaller skateboard ramps in other parks. Multi-unit games areas and smaller scale games areas have also increased.
Play is an essential part of every child's life and is vital for their development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them. Play facilities should be designed to encourage and stimulate the child's physical, social and creative development.
This website is being developed to provide information on all the locations and facilities.
