PLAYLINK assessment of Forestry Commission’s play provision
In December 2007 the Forestry Commission contracted PLAYLINK to undertake an evaluation of ‘playable areas’ in terms of:
- progress in implementing Forestry Commission objectives in respect of play
- identifying barriers, if any, preventing best possible implementation of the play objectives
PLAYLINK’s report discusses a number of topics potentially of interest to those responsible for parks, open spaces, country parks and destination venues. The full PLAYLINK report includes sections on:
- Summary of findings
- Summary of recommendations
- Play provision
- Play provision and Forestry Commission wider objectives
- Consultation
- The play offer
- Disability
- Thoughts from the urban fringe
- Risk, risk management, industry standards and play
- Teenagers
- Publicity and promotion
- Organisational processes and structures – embedding play-led landscape design
- Budgets, year-end spends – the need for flexibility
- Maintenance
