Westminster Launches New Playground Action Plan: A Place For Every Child To Play

Play is a vital part of childhood. It helps children build confidence, stay active, develop social skills and explore the world around them. Just as importantly, it creates opportunities for families and communities to spend time togethe outdoors. 

That’s why Westminster City Council has  launched a new Playground Action Plan, setting out how playgrounds across the borough will be improved, maintained and developed so they remain safe, welcoming and enjoyable for years to come. The plan was officially launched last Tuesday 10 March, bringing together partners and colleagues to highlight the importance of play in creating healthy, active communities.

A better future for Westminster’s Playgrounds

Westminster is home to 68 Playgrounds, forming part of a wider network of parks and outdoor spaces that support healthy, active lifestyles for children and families.

The new Action Plan outlines how these spaces will be enhanced through improved design, maintenance and long-term planning, helping ensure playgrounds continue to meet the needs of local communities across the city.

Inclusive play for every child

At the heart of our plan is a commitment to inclusive design, ensuring playgrounds are accessible and enjoyable for children of all abilities and backgrounds.

Future improvements will prioritise inclusive equipment and thoughtful design so that more children can play together. By embedding inclusivity into new projects and upgrades, Westminster is creating play spaces where every child feels welcome and able to join in.

Supporting active childoods

The Playground Action Plan is an important step towards a wider vision for play in Westminster. It will help shape future plans for play across the borough, ensuring children have more opportunities to be active, creative and connected to their communities.

Because here in Westminster, we believe that every child deserves to have a play, today and in the future.
