Open Green Space Shows Housebuilder’s Support For Playday

Barratt Developments – the former WhatHouse? Housebuilder of the Year, which sells homes under its Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes brands – is celebrating Playday (Wednesday 2 August 2023) by highlighting the importance of providing open space and play areas open to the public across its developments in Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Warwickshire and Milton Keynes.

Its Northampton division alone created over six hectares of green space in the form of public open spaces and private gardens across its developments in the financial year up to 30 June 2022 – the same size as nine Northampton Town football pitches!

Playday is a celebration of children’s right to play and highlights the importance of play in children’s lives. Play is important for children as it helps develop emotional maturity, encourages independence and helps foster cognitive development.

Alison Raine, sales director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Northampton, said: “Open spaces and play areas are incredibly important as they provide places for children, both new residents and from the existing community, to play in a safe space outside their homes. This means our developments become more than just bricks and mortar but leave a lasting legacy for the future generations.

“We’re delighted that we can say we’re providing a significant amount of public open across our developments, with both equipped playgrounds and landscaped areas with over six hectares of greenspace being created.”
