Simple Simon 36 Report post Posted May 9, 2013 Please can you upload details of the council run playing fields and play equipment in your village. I would be really interested in what's popular, what's not, what's needed etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simple Simon 36 Report post Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Gobowen to start: A Multi-Use Games Area: Very popular with kids of all ages who like to kick the ball against the wire fences. The noise causes problems with some nearby residents. The area does fill up with litter very quickly and the surface is easily damaged as kids like to ride their bikes through it. It also gets chewing gum stuck to the surface. The wire fencing loosens and splits in the goal area. Very little use for actual matches (backetball/tennis/5 aside etc). Mostly used for kick-arounds. Gossip Shelter: Very popular with kids. During the summer they like to climb onto the roof. Gets marked with graffiti. Car Climber (climbing frame): Popular with very young children. Rocket Climber (climbing frame): I don't see much evidence of use of this item. Ladder Climber (climbing frame): Again, I don't see much evidence of use. Mound slides: These are used but get very dirty in winter. Toddler Swings: Very popular with young children but the seats do decay. Junior Swings: Very popular, although teenagers role the seats up so they can sit higher. Multi-Play (a wooden climbing frame with slide and hanging tyre and hand rings): Popular but very dilapidated and rotten in places. The surfacing around this equipment gets waterlogged in winter. Quad Flyer (a sort of aerial merry-go-round for teenagers): No sign of use. Bird Nest Swing: Very popular. Aerial Runway: Very popular. Cross Springer: Very popular although the surface around the equipment get worn down. Single Springer: Very popular but the surface around the equipment gets worn down. A Junior Football Pitch: Tatty with uneven surface and rusting goal posts. A Senior Football Pitch (but not full sized): Suffers from mole hills and people walking their dogs over it (even just before a match). Very popular for matches and just kick-arounds.
