West Northamptonshire has over 700 parks and green spaces, including play areas for children and young people. These spaces are an important part of our green infrastructure.
We manage many of these parks in line with the core principles of our parks development strategy. We aim to work closely with local communities and partners to improve and care for these spaces. In some cases, it may be suitable to transfer ownership to parish councils.
Some parks and green spaces are managed by parish or town councils, or by estate management companies.
Play areas and outdoor sports facilities help people of all ages stay active, build confidence and develop social skills. We want to make sure these spaces are welcoming, accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
