What the consultation is

We're currently assessing the locations and quality of outdoor play spaces available for young people and families across Renfrewshire.


The play spaces we are assessing include:

  • equipped play areas
  • bike and skate parks and tracks
  • ball game courts
  • multi-use game areas (MUGAs)
  • outdoor fitness areas.

Why we’re consulting

This is part of the ongoing work towards forming our new Local Development Plan.

The plan will set out strategy and proposals for the use of land and buildings in Renfrewshire up to 2038 and beyond.

How you can tell us what you think

This consultation phase closed on Friday 13 June 2025. The outcome of this consultation phase will be published on Monday 22 December 2025

We asked young people, parents and carers, community councils and other community groups to share their views as part of this assessment.

We wanted to know what you think about the play spaces in your area and across Renfrewshire.

People could also request a paper copy of the survey.
