Youth Support

Great Yarmouth Borough Council recognizes that play is essential to children’s happiness, health and development. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989, gives all children the right “to rest and leisure; to engage in age-appropriate play and recreational activities”.

With 19% of Great Yarmouth’s population being under 16 our aim is to provide play areas that give children the space and freedom to explore, experiment and interact with other children.

The Council currently manages 87 outdoor playgrounds for both children and young people, across 81 individual sites, including 7 skate / BMX Parks and 12 Multi Use Games Areas (MUGAs).
