Children's play areas

We have 37 play areas, with each site having between two and 16 play items, ranging from spring animals to climbing frames.

All the play areas have a safety surface under each play item, either bark, safety surface or a rubber surface.  

The grass is regularly cut and collected in our playgrounds and each piece of playground equipment is checked once a week by our contract playground inspectors.

Every three months an operational inspection is carried out to check for wear and tear and once a year an independent inspector checks on all our play areas.

History of Queens Park playground

Play Safely was started by a group of Caterham mums to fundraise for and design an innovative playground in Queens Park. The playground opened in 1988 at a cost of £60,000 after years of fundraising. Tandridge District Council matched the funds raised by Play Safely and has maintained the playground as one of its flagship playgrounds ever since.
