Watford Borough Council

Play Rangers

Our Play Rangers operate an 'open access' principle, meaning that children are free to come and go as they please. All our play rangers have Watford Borough Council and BIG Lottery Logo on their uniforms and will be wearing a Watford Council Identity badge.

The Play Rangers will be present in the parks around the town, providing opportunities for children and young people aged 5 – 15 years to be challenged, take acceptable risks and have fun outdoors come rain or shine! Activities will include den building, parachute games, tree climbing, kite making, art and crafts, multi sports, circus skills and more. Look out for the clearly identifiable staff in bright clothing with name badges and Council logos on their shirts.

• Basic registration is required
• All sessions are free of charge
• Play isn’t always clean and dry, so wear something suitable
• All Play Ranger staff are CRB Checked
• Children will be encouraged to share their ideas and help us plan future sessions

Please be aware that sessions may be cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.  Watford's Play Ranger project is supported by the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund.
