To make sure that all users remain safe in the play areas, each site is inspected weekly. An annual inspection is also carried out by an independent body such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) or the National Playing Fields Association (NPFA) who prepare a safety audit and a report which is used to plan any long term maintenance.
The Vale park warden's hours of work are 11am to 1 hour before dusk.
