The Council has 46 play areas located across the borough that are provided for children and young people of all abilities up to age of 15. These are managed and maintained by the Council's Streetscene team who undertake regular inspections to ensure that the facilities are safe.
Since 2015, many of our play areas have recieved an upgrade. This has included new equipment, some of which is inclusive, improvement works to exisiting equipment and repairs to surfacing where necessary.
Local residents and users were consulted about the play area improvements before any changes were made. For information about these consultations please visit www.fareham.gov.uk/consultations
Fareham Borough Council is currently consulting on proposed changes to the Crossfell Walk play area, Bishopsfield Road. This project has received up to £100,000 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Residents are invited to give their views on what new equipment could be installed and how the existing play area could be improved, as well as possible additions to the wider recreational offering such as outdoor gym equipment, bike racks or a trim trail.
The consultation will close on 3 October 2023 and residents can have their say by joining the new 'Let's Talk Fareham' Facebook group 
or by completing the online survey .
A new programme of works have been agreed and the following play areas are expected to receive improvements over the next few years:
