What the consultation is
We aim to provide fun, inviting places to play for young people and families.
Our play park investment programme installs brand-new equipment as part of a full renewal of the play park or refurbishes existing equipment at play parks in Renfrewshire.
The equipment installed is informed by feedback from the public through consultations, so the play parks reflect what you want to see included.
