Play Areas

Hythe & Dibden Parish Council has a number of Play Areas. They have all been upgraded over the last 10 years and the cycle of refurbishment is ongoing. Each Play Area is designed in consultation with the children in the Parish and each is designed to give a different play opportunity. The play areas are litter-picked and maintained on a daily basis by the Parish Council’s Maintenance Team who are all RPII qualified. If you notice a problem with a play area, please ring the parish council on 02380 841411.
