The city council is encouraging children to spend more time in the playground by developing exciting outdoor areas as part of the Excellence in Cities scheme. The children built this den themselves and also have access to a new climbing frame. Interactive play areas with special equipment including giant wooden bricks, tyres and ropes will be set up all over Liverpool. Photo Roger Moody/ Guzelian
