Overview of Free Play Projects Newry, Mourne and Down District Council recognise the right for children and young people to play as outlined in Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and therefore recognise their obligation to protect and fulfil the child’s right to play freely in our public open spaces.
