Our play areas
What we heard
This survey closed on 17 October 2026. Thank you to everyone who took part.
What we asked
We asked families which of our play areas they use, and whether they would like a splash park. This is a sample page, with made-up answers.
What you told us
Thank you to everyone who answered. Most families use more than one play area, and many asked for somewhere to play in water on hot days.
The figures below are the answers as they stood when this page was published.
Which play area do your family use most?

A splash park at Westexe Rec: Have your say until 7 December 2026
