Find a playground

Plymouth has a large variety of playgrounds across the city for all and abilities and inclusive play. 

Dogs are excluded from enclosed children’s play areas. Visit our Dog Control page for full details.

Continued improvements to Plymouth’s play areas

Plymouth has over 125 play areas across the city that vary in size, age and types of equipment. Providing inclusive play opportunities for children and young people is very important to us.

Inclusive play leaflet

Many of the play areas across Plymouth have had updates and overhauls thanks to the Improving Outdoor Play Programme, led by Plymouth City Council.

Since 2018 we have updated a range of equipment and facilities, improved surfacing and added seating and fencing.

In the latest round of improvements King George V in Plymstock and Lancaster Gardens in Whitleigh have had new climbing units, while Staple Close in Roborough and North Down Crescent have new agility trails around the existing play areas.

Up in Alexandra Park we have added to the fitness equipment and over in Lower Park Drive in Plymstock we have created a new toddler area.

Updates have also been carried out in Albion Drive in Ham, Manor Gardens in Stonehouse, and at  St Marys and St Maurice Parks in Plympton.

Most of these improvements happen due to partnership working with some fantastic community groups and without their support, commitment and enthusiasm, this project just wouldn't happen.
