Northumberland PlayZones (Phase 2)

Overview

Do you live in one of the areas listed below and would you like an outdoor sports space (PlayZone) for your community? 

We are working in communities around Northumberland that match the funding priorities set by Sport England.

A PlayZone is an outdoor space usually the size of one or two tennis courts, which can be used for a range of sports and activities. PlayZones will be designed and operated based on feedback from the community.

The potential PlayZones in the second phase of the programme are listed below and we need to hear from people living in these communities as to what you may use it for, and when you may use it.

• Berwick
• Choppington
• Cramlington
• East Bedlington
• Haltwhistle
• Lynemouth
• Seaton Valley
• Wooler

Please complete the short questionnaire which will only take a couple of minutes.

PlayZones come in all shapes and sizes, here is an example. 

We will also be holding a series of local events to talk to you about what you'd like to see. Pop along and see us! More dates will be added in coming weeks so please keep checking for events in your area. 

• Cheviot Centre, Wooler - 20th June 10am - 12pm
• Breamish Hall, Powburn - 20th June 1.30pm - 3.30pm
