Cllr Natalie Byron-Teare says 'historically' no money has been set aside for this issue
Douglas Council will be introducing a maintenance programme and budget to support the management of its parks.
The local authority is in charge of 15 play areas, five of which are in Noble's Park, and does not currently have funding set aside to fix 'routine' issues.
Councillor Byron-Teare hopes to do some 'community engagement' to see what people would like in the play areas.
She added that the council do 'regular' health and safety checks of the play areas and equipment to make sure it's up to standard.
The new budget would be based on what is needed at each of the play areas over the course of a year and she believes this will make the maintenance process more 'proactive', rather than 'reactive'.
