Enclosed playgrounds

Several playgrounds across our local area are enclosed, ranging in size and access.

  • Mostly enclosed – large areas of the playground are enclosed by fencing, walls, dense hedges or a combination of these. But one side of 4, in a rectangular shaped site, is open and can be fairly easily accessed by an unsupervised child.
  • Partly enclosed – only some of the playground perimeter is enclosed by fencing, walls or hedges. The enclosures are typically the sides closest to a road or dog off-leash area.
  • Fully enclosed – the entire play space is enclosed by fencing and the entrances are usually, but not always, gated.

Partly enclosed playgrounds can be restricted by:

Playground with a tall slide, climbing structure, and swings on a green soft surface, surrounded by trees.
A mural with abstract winged figures is painted on a building wall along a narrow alley, with a yellow-lidded bin and trees under a clear blue sky.
 A public park with tall trees, a play area featuring slides and climbing equipment, surrounded by benches and black bollards, adjacent to modern buildings on a sunny day.
