Queen Elizabeth Park Play Area Case Study

Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council

The project will develop a castle themed children’s play area in Queen Elizabeth Park. The play area will include natural play features as part of the landscape setting for the main castle feature. Children from local schools and the community will be involved in the design of the play area and creating interpretation panels, which will tell the story of the castle and the development of Newcastle-under-Lyme. The project will provide exercise opportunities whilst stimulating learning about the history of the area. It will improve the local environment by creating a much needed community facility on a currently under-used and uninspiring site which will provide opportunities for local children to access and enjoy their environment through play, exercise and learning.
