Play Development

Woking Borough Council value children and young peoples place in society as well as providing a variety of play opportunities and services.

This involves benchmarking play locally and countywide, supporting local providers of play, sharing information about local and national play initiatives and news, and feeding those initiatives into the play services we provide (such as play areas).

Woking Borough Council adopted a Boroughwide Play Strategy in 2007 designed to identify gaps in provision and provide a strategic framework for play in Woking Borough. This Play Strategy can be viewed here.

Woking Borough Council is also a member of Play England and as such is signed up to the Charter for Childrens Play. We endeavour to ensure that all of the principles listed in this charter are met on our schemes and would encourage other play organisations and settings to do so also. Individuals and organisations can become a member of Play England and there are many benefits to this.
