Teenage Meeting Places
Teenage meeting places take several forms, but usually
comprise a combination of somewhere for young people to sit, a football goal,
basketball goals, small scale skateboard equipment or a large piece of play
equipment. They are carefully located in the open and well away from properties
where noise might be a problem. They have proved very successful and since their
inception vandalism on play areas has been reduced considerably.
