  • Bournemouth Playground Strategy 2009-14 (Updated January 2011) 1
    Bournemouth Playground Strategy 2009-14 (updated January 2011) 1. Introduction Bournemouth has approximately 164,000 residents, it forms part of the second largest conurbation in the South West and is predicted to grow further. The majority of children live in the north of the borough (see fig. 1). Figure 1: Density of population of children and young people across Bournemouth 2001 At the end of 2008 Bournemouth Borough Council owned and maintained a total of sixty-two playgrounds within public open space, a further three playgrounds were available for public use across the Borough owned by third sector organisations or the private sector. The quality, size and popularity of public play areas varies considerably, from small sparsely equipped sites such as Chesildene Drive in Muscliff, through to large destination play sites such as Redhill Park – which has a large equipped play area, paddling pool, café and toilets. Chesildene Drive – an unequipped play area The cost of installing and maintaining public playgrounds has risen significantly over the last 20 years for a number of reasons, including costs of raw materials, increased safety and fencing recommendations. All children’s play areas in Bournemouth are currently gated or fenced and designated as dog free areas under local byelaws. Since 2003 a programme of ensuring all equipment is surrounded by safety surfacing where appropriate to comply with current British Standard BSEN 1176. The state of public play areas has gained significant national attention over the past two years both politically and within the media. The creation of the national body Play England has resulted in the generation of a great deal of research into children’s play, looking at best practice examples both within and outside the UK.

This plan has been written by the Dorset Coastal Community Team with input from Dorset Coast Forum members. Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan Christchurch Coastal Area Plan Key Information This document is linked to the Connecting Dorset Coastal Community Team Economic Plan and (Sections 1-4 can be found in this) 5. Local Area (Provide brief geographical description) Christchurch is the most easterly coastal town of Dorset. It boarders Bournemouth to the west and the New Forest, Hampshire to the east. Christchurch Harbour is the town’s natural harbour with two Rivers the Avon and the Stour flowing into it at its northwest corner. Stanpit Marsh lies at the northern edge of the harbour and is a 65,000 Hectare local nature reserve. To the west side of the harbour is the prominent natural coastal headland, Hengistbury Head which protects the harbour. The harbour contains large areas of saltmarsh and is protected by Mudeford spit (a sandbar) which has fine sandy beach on both sides of a walkway lined with beach huts. Christchurch is a gateway town to the Jurassic coast, home to the nearby Highcliffe Castle and the cliff line of the Highcliffe to Barton Geological SSSI.
