The Play Strategy aims to improve and develop inclusive play provision to meet the needs of local children and young people aged 0-18 across the Wakefield District.

The purpose of the play strategy is to ensure that fun, exciting, accessible play opportunities are available for all children irrespective of race, gender, age, ability or geographical location.
