Playgrounds


The town council maintains two large playgrounds in Potton.

Henry Smith Playing Fields playground (what3words ///steadier.expanded.simmer) and Mill Lane Recreation Ground playground (what3words ///soil.curving.minivans).

Inspection and maintenance

  • All play areas are visited twice a week to remove all litter and broken glass.
  • All play equipment is inspected once a week to make sure that it is safe for continued use.
  • If we receive reports of broken glass or damaged equipment, between the scheduled visits we will arrange for the play area to be visited again.
  • Each year all play areas receive an independent inspection to make sure that they meet the British and European safety standards.
