Added this fab place to the @GreatBritishPlayMap yesterday, it's been on my to do list for a while and we can't wait to visit next year with our transport mad son! https://t.co/gRtZM23yvu

@LeicsCountyHall Can't wait for our Tiny Forest to be planted on Western Park in Ashby - Our son is excited to get out of school and help - I'm sure he'll be pointing out 'his tree' for many years to come. #ComunityEngagment for the win

Creating a balanced play diet is important. On screen entertainment is highly accessible but we often find this level of support for discovering local places to play is limited. We are trying to change this by helping families find play spaces to suit them https://t.co/61DK9GEaRk

"We need to be creating a society where kids can go out & #play freely, with access to free, safe, well-designed #playgrounds in every #community." @API_ChairUK on @LBC with @RachelSJohnson yesterday discussing kids' screen time (02:03:45-02:17:13): https://t.co/saH1OUD7b1

@theroyalparks Beautiful - we love all your parks and have been slowly adding them to @GreatBritishPlayMap to help others discover these fantastic places https://t.co/BVskOclulK

[Great British Play Map @britishplaymap]

@BBCNews Or... we could embrace spending quality time together and get out and play in some of the fantastic free places, woodlands, country parks and open space we have? Tools like @GreatBritishPlayMap help families find local play spaces of all shapes and sizes https://t.co/LCYFuEWlRc

@ludicology @SallyHealth4all Children occupy our whole space so it baffles me that they are rarely considered in the design and development of our communities in ways that demonstrate the value they offer our society. dreaming of a day I can also say 'everything about my hometown is playful and fun'

[Great British Play Map @britishplaymap]

@childrensociety @actnforchildren @barnardos @NSPCC @ncbtweets Children have so much value to add especially when it concerns issues directly affecting them such as children's play. In our experience the very best play spaces out there have been the result of children and young people being directly involved in their design and development.

@hill_marian These are fab, great resource for the family

[Great British Play Map @britishplaymap]

Getting our 9 year old out the house can be tricky, especially on cold, wintery days like today but free resources like these from @hill_marian have been a great way to encourage him to get out and active whilst engaging with nature and having fun. We love them!

I have built a new website specially for my insect illustration project. Check out https://t.co/I5AX3vVVjP for free teaching resources, insect illustration gallery & poster shop. #urbanwildlife #urbannature #wildcity #wildcitygarden #nomow #nomowmay #bioblitz #nodig

@DNloveplays Absolutely agree and would extend the benefits to adults and the entire family unit! Getting out and playing is good for everyone and creates happy and healthy communities!

[Great British Play Map @britishplaymap]

@FieldsInTrust Parks and Green Spaces help build happy and active communities. We are inundated with requests from families about where they can go and play, we see so many pockets of play deprivation from our map and it's time the Government stepped up. Great Manifesto raising the key points!

[Great British Play Map @britishplaymap]

Have you seen the #playmap recently? We're on a mission to help families get out & play! If you're looking for places to play that suit your families needs be it playgrounds, animals, woodlands or museums take a look at the map & see what's close to you - https://t.co/LCYFuEWlRc

Pooh sticks at Coombe Abbey in Coventry.

[Great British Play Map @britishplaymap]

The original bridge that inspired AA Milne’s ‘Pooh sticks’ is up for sale! The news reminds me of Ashdown Forest the real ‘Hundred Acre Wood’. Such an amazing place full of adventure and imagination. https://t.co/9maoAXTjop
Where is your favourite place to play pooh sticks?

[Great British Play Map @britishplaymap]

Definitely one of our happy places @NTbrimhamrocks. If like us you love bouldering, scrambling, running, jumping, squeezing, hide and seeking then Brimham Rocks is the place for you! https://t.co/QmumFYl8Ar
