Where PlayPods work
Parks and open spaces
Courts, tables and lawns that sit empty get a reason to be used, every day of the week.
Estates and youth hotspots
Positive activity in the places that need it most. Busier spaces are safer spaces.
Courts and MUGAs
Basketball, football and tennis kit at the gate, for anyone who turns up without their own.
Why it pays
No budget needed
The network is funded by brand partners on the PlayPods, not by council budgets.
Evidence for your reports
Usage by site, by equipment and by time of day, aggregated for your health, youth and active travel reporting.
Local jobs
PlayPods are kept stocked by Play Rangers, young people recruited through local youth centres.
How the deal works
PlayMade installs, stocks and runs the network. The council provides the park sites; brand partners on the PlayPods fund it.
