This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Provision of local play parks is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.

You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide additional funding to English local authorities to help them improve provision at play parks for people with disabilities.

You mention Pontypridd in your petition, and local government funding in Wales is something the Welsh Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it. If you'd like to send your petition to the Welsh Parliament, you can find out more here:
