Play in Bridgend County Borough
All children have the right to play. Our role is to ensure that children living in Bridgend County Borough have the time, space, and permission to access quality play opportunities.
The Welsh Government defines play as behaviour which is: freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated and performed for no external goal or reward.
That is, children and young people determine and control the content and intent of their play, by following their own instincts, ideas and interests, in their own way for their own reasons.
