We live in a completely different area of London but my granddaughter spotted the playground as we passed it on a bus, and she asked to visit it later in the day. It was well worth it! She spent an hour using the long zip wire (no queue!), climbing up, around and down a large wooden structure, going on slides and swings. Being Halloween, there was some lovely colourful Street Art sprayed onto huge panels, evidently completed early in the day by children under the guidance of organized "writers". We saw 3 or 4 young adults keeping an eye on the users, helping them use the outdoor gym equipment safely or add to the paintings with spray cans. There is also an indoor area with ping pong, tabletop football etc. I was impressed by the friendly atmosphere but clear rules on the wall: no bullying, swearing, stealing etc....or users will be excluded for a certain amount of time. There is an area to the back of the playground which is rather overgrown and where wood is piled up and burned....looks like the structures are in need of a further injection of funds to keep it as a perfect instrument to keep youths happy, active and off the streets. Well worth a visit, or regular visits if you live nearby,!

It a great place for children to roam free. Learning and playing. My own children when growing up they were always playing and spending most of their time also meeting other children there.

The children loved being here, with enough playground facilities to actively occupy them. Bonus is nearby Sainsbury’s supermarket. It is minimal in space although this has its advantages in terms of discouraging overpopulation, for example, and not quite easy to locate especially if you are driving.

Kirchen can ve used ro warm up lunch which we take with us ,or you can run down the road to Morleys or Sainsburys . This place can be hired for parties. Children had an opportunity to do Grafitti with professional. Toilets are always well kept clean.
