Mendip play areas and skate parks
All of our play areas and skate parks meet the requirements of the standards set by the National Playing Fields Association and are inspected to the requirements of these guidelines and Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. The list below is not exhaustive as many Mendip villages also have play areas, managed by their parish council.
