The importance of play. Play is essential for children and young people, not just for their physical heath but for their social and cognitive development too. Their natural creativity and imagination are enhanced through play.

Dublin City Council is committed to providing accessible and inclusive opportunities to play for children and young people of all ages. We believe that children and young people have a right to be seen and heard, so we consult them in all matters concerning play and work in partnership with them and other agencies to achieve our vision of a child-friendly Dublin.

To learn more about Dublin City Council’s commitment to play, read the Dublin City Play Plan.
