Our Play Ranger activities take place outdoors in all weathers and are open access. This means there is no registration, children are free to come and go as they please.

Under 7’s are welcome and should be accompanied by a parent or carer.

Open access means that the children who attend are free to come and go as they please, we do not take a register and will not stop a child from leaving. This puts the decision to join or leave with the child and their parents/ carers, in keeping with our belief in child-led play.

There is no fee for the child to join in the activities. Our community play for most is easy to access, being a short walk or bike ride from where children live. This means they do not need to rely on adults providing money or transport to take part – they can simply choose to get to their local open space and join in.

The range of positive activities that Play Gloucestershire’s Play Rangers provide is huge. Our customised and branded vans contain all sorts of active and creative play equipment. Children can play informal sports, build dens, active games such as tag, water fights, hide & seek, creative art, using and adapting existing play equipment. It results in all ages and abilities playing together on a shared community space from toddlers to teenagers to grandparents. Food: A hot meal / picnic meal will be provided at this activity.
Water will be available – please bring a refillable water bottle.
