The Council runs a project called 'Aloud Outdoors' which is a shared Play Ranger service with Richmondshire District Council. The aim of the scheme is to bring adventurous play back and shake off the 'cotton wool' culture that cocoons youngsters today. Play is an essential part of a child's life and vital for their development - they need to explore the world around them to develop skills and expertise.

This scheme will improve play opportunities for children (aged 5-11 years) living in rural communities. Play Rangers run approximately 60 play sessions a year across the two districts from October 2008 to September 2011. Activities include everything from den building and water slides to making mud pies and perfumes. The sessions use local facilities such as village halls, village greens and local playing fields.

Priority areas, where sessions are held, are determined by the Hambleton and Richmondshire Play Partnerships based on where there is a lack of existing provision and the numbers of children living there. During 2009 the scheme has visited Picton, Reeth, Sessay, Scorton, Snape and Scotton. So far the scheme has visited Barton, Brandsby, Chopgate, Croft, Danby Wiske, Eppleby, Picton, Reeth, Sessay, Scorton, Snape and Scotton.
