What is the Flagship Playspace?

The Flagship Playspace will be located at Yeovil Recreation Centre and will aim to help children and adults across the district reconnect with the outdoors through natural materials such as sand, water and plants.

One of the most exciting aspects is that we asked you - our customers - to tell us what you would like the Flagship Playspace to look like. The design will aim to provide an environment in which children can play freely, test their boundaries and have fun.

The Flagship Playspace aims to inspire the imagination while engaging with the exciting world of nature. The existing play area will be replaced and the area for the new playspace enlarged. The Flagship Playspace will enhance the existing landscape and will not result in loss of open space or any trees.

Why create a Flagship Playspace?

The Flagship Playspace project emerged as part of the development of South Somerset District Council's Play Policy and Play Strategy which were formally adopted in March 2007. This project is separate to, and will not be affected by, the Sport Zone project. Funding has already been secured and the project will go ahead irrespective of whether or not the Sport Zone project proceeds.

This exciting project is expected to be completed by July 2009.
