Explore Play Wales
Research by Fields in Trust has revealed 28% of children in Wales aged under nine years-old live more than a 10-minute walk from a park – with the number rising to 31% across Britain as a whole.
The results are part of the charity’s Green Space Index – an annual barometer of publicly accessible park and green space provision across Britain.
Fields in Trust says the research highlights a growing concern about the accessibility of playgrounds for children in Britain, with implications for health, wellbeing, and physical activity.
