Playgrounds are strategic places for children to spend free time and should create safe environment, where they can socialize, discover they potential in physical way. Also create mitting point for carers. So, who and in how big number using those spaces?
My area of interest is Leicester, and to be more specific Western Park where I plan to instal my equipment. Last census take place in 2021, population was approximate 354 thousands and proportion about half and half between both genders, also 38% of residents in age between 0-24 years which give over 135 thousands (Stammers and Rajania, 2022). Western Park by itself has population of 5027, that give about 1,900 in range group of 0-24years old(Open Leicester, 2021).
