Enjoying the Outdoors Together

Getting outdoors has lots of benefits for you and your child. It’s the perfect place for your
child to be physically active, use their imagination, explore and learn. It’s great for your mental and physical health too.

It’s never been easier to enjoy the outdoors together in the Better Start Bradford area now thanks to the Better Place project which has created lots of special areas for families with young children in local parks and green spaces.

Better Place

The Better Place team has been working its magic across parks, pocket parks, community centres, streets and green spaces all across Bowling and Barkerend, Bradford Moor and Little Horton for families with children aged 0-3.
