Malvern Hills Play Action Plan 2007 - 2010

We can all remember playing as a child. Climbing trees, playing in the street, adventures in the woods; these are familiar memories of play. But for many children today these traditional ways to explore and have fun are often unavailable or unsafe. Appropriate play provision allows children to let off steam, build social relationships and challenge their own boundaries in a constructive way.

Play is a very important part of a child's life. Many experts in childhood development regard play as 'work' of children. Play helps a child experiment with their world and enables them to learn new skills.

The Malvern Hills District Play Action Plan will create, improve and develop inclusive play provision across the district that respondes to the needs of the community and reflects the interests and wishes of children and young people who will use it.
