MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To ask the manager to re examine the playground maps to improve them to easy read use for park users.

REPORT:

The playground maps are designed to inform playground users of what play equipment is in the playground and the age range that each item is provided for.  The maps are colour coded into a Junior play area which is suitable for children aged 1 – 4 yrs and a Senior play area which is suitable for children aged 4 – 12 yrs.  Some of the larger playgrounds will also have an All Ages Play Area. 

The signs on which the maps are displayed also includes information in text in Irish and English together with pictograms.  The signs and maps have been kept as simple as possible to relay the relevant necessary information.  A review of all playground signs in the LPNC area will be carried out to ensure that signs and maps are up to date.  SDCC is open to suggestion about improvement to signs to make them more user friendly.
