Reccy Rangers - A Mobile Play Facility

Provides a wide range of activities including art, sport, games, play and nature equipment for children and young people to freely play with and explore.

Open access fun activities for children between 5 and 13 years of age. (Children under eight years of age must be accompanied by an adult), brought to you by the Play Development Team.

The focus is on child-initiated ‘free play’, although supervisory staff are always on hand to assist and provide more structured activities as and when requested.

We use a mixture of indoor and outdoor venues such as community centres, schools, village halls, parks and playing fields around the county.

Sessions last no longer than two hours, and a wide selection of equipment is available for use for a variety of play, multi-activities and arts and crafts.

This scheme is also available for schools to access as an after school provision. Please see the After school activities page.
