Maybe an activity/ nature trail for kids

Lack of indoor spaces for young people to dance and have fun

Charging for car parking at Medina has stopped me going swimming

The young people need more venues, how about a really good climbing wall, develop a mountaineering club

We use Church Litten a lot - it’s well maintained and there’s usually a friendly crowd there. Seaclose the same.

Church litten- well maintained, play park great for youngsters but needs a water/splash play area for summer

We do need more attractive, challenging play equipment to attract families to use outdoor play areas

There’s not many places to go outside in the winter or more soggy weather.

More activities for young/ teenagers

Open up Carisbrooke High School sports hall and Astro turf for public use

Parkhurst could do with a recreational park for all the children there is quite a lot but most of them are for in the summer so there should be indoor play areas for children to play in the winter. more sport facilities out side and in at a low cost there needs to be more parks and open spaces and there needs to be rain shelters because when it rains there isn’t much shelter in Newport

Desperately need 4 G pitches for football and hockey.

We don't ever think of Newport as a place of recreation - why bother?

We don’t use the playpark often because of the rubbish and teenagers there.

I'd like to see an indoor skatepark facility in Newport somewhere. There is huge demand for it

There needs to be flood lit football pitches/running track/hockey pitch etc for teenagers and anyone else to use

Where are these places?

A BMX track linked with the cycleway – maybe temporary use of the old Hole in the Wall pub green?

Not everyone can afford to join clubs so free sport areas could be good. The play area in Church Litten has seen a steady decline over the last 7-8 years. Spooks & Sparks at Victoria Rec is a success we have a climate that requires indoor and outdoor options.
