[21546/19]
View answerMy Department administers a Capital Grant Funding Scheme for new and existing play and recreation facilities for children and young people. The purpose of the play and recreation capital grant is to support refurbishment of play and recreation amenities for children and young people. Since 2013, my Department has contributed to the provision of new equipment, the development of natural play areas and the refurbishment of existing play facilities. There is no record of any funding for playgrounds from my Department in 2012.
