Part of Organised Outdoor Community Play Fund.
Smart Play Network (SPN) are the national organisation supporting and delivering play opportunities for the benefit, health and wellbeing of children and families across Scotland.
They provide a range of support and practical tools to 394 members, from starting up a new service, through policy development and delivery to planning for sustainability.
SPN believe in the child’s right to play for their overall development, health and wellbeing. They extend this belief to adults who can not only benefit from being playful themselves, but through supporting the child’s right to play, can build and strengthen their local places, spaces and community by coming together for a collective, focussed and common goal.
SPN deliver Play Rangers services, Community Spaces Co-Production projects, outdoor play in schools projects, a toy library and a national roadshow to support positive parent/child engagement through play.
