Playground Inspections

North Yorkshire Council recommend parish councils/management committees undertake an annual inspection on all public playgrounds with in the parish in line with British safety standards. We work closely alongside Playground Projects to offer these annual inspections to identify risks and reduce accidents and help make playgrounds safe areas for children.

​

To book an inspection please complete the below form and pay online. We aim to complete all playground inspections by 30th November 2025.

Cost per inspection per playground £68.00 (plus VAT)

​

It is essential that you confirm your request no later than Friday 19th September 2025

Inspections

​

All playgrounds will be inspected to ensure they meet the recommended health and safety regulations to ensure the site, equipment, surfacing and ancillary items are sufficiently robust and safe to use.

Once the inspection is complete any faults, recommended actions or repairs will be compiled into a report and forwarded to the contact email for the parish council/management committee to undertake any work independently.
