Last week the Government announced it was seeking to reward radical ideas to improve parks and public spaces from a fund of £89 million.
Regeneration Minister Yvette Cooper said: "We have a great tradition of city parks, town squares and village greens. But for too long our public spaces have been neglected.
"People want parks and public spaces that are clean, safe and green."
Plans could range from adventure play areas for children, youth shelters for teenagers, more park wardens or better lighting.
Councils have been invited to apply for the scheme through their local government office.
Swindon council said it would be interested in finding out more about the plan.
