Playzones Feedback
Coventry City Council, in partnership with the Football Foundation, is exploring options to improve sports and activity spaces across the city.
With funding support from the Premier League, The FA, and the Government through Sport England, we're part of an exciting initiative called the PlayZone Programme.
The programme aims to transform older Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs) into modern, flexible PlayZones - and potentially introduce new ones where communities would benefit most. These would be high-quality local spaces designed for a variety of sports and physical activities.
Our goal is to help more people get active, stay healthy, and enjoy access to inviting spaces to play.
We’re keen to hear your views on our plans for the potential PlayZones. Have a look at the images of the designs, if you are completing on a laptop/computer the images are on the right hand side of this page, if you are completing this on a mobile they are below the survey link.
Please note: Any proposed improvements are subject to a full planning process.
The project focuses on four key target groups:
- Lower socio-economic groups
- Women and girls
- Disabled people and people with long-term health conditions
- Ethnically diverse communities
