Experience free outdoor play at England's first adventure playground built by a housing association, offering safe spaces for children to explore, challenge themselves, and develop skills.

Located in Bow, London, it stands as the very first adventure playground to be constructed by a housing association in England, marking a significant milestone in community recreation. The playground provides a safe, welcoming environment where children of all abilities can play, try new things, take on challenges, and develop valuable skills. Designed specifically for the local community around Bow, it serves as an important resource for families seeking quality outdoor recreation without cost barriers. Parents and caregivers appreciate the supervised space, allowing them peace of mind while children engage in active play and social interaction. The venue is staffed by a dedicated team committed to creating an inclusive atmosphere where every child can participate and grow. Roman Road Adventure Playground demonstrates how housing associations can contribute meaningfully to community wellbeing by providing essential recreational spaces for families.

Had a great time here. The most important thing to note is that children under 6 can only come here on saturdays 12-2pm. We had a bit of disappointment but we came back and really enjoyed it on a Saturday.

Pretty epic adventure playground - all created out of natural materials, with slide, swings, sandpit, and lots of things to climb on. I think the age limit is 5, so it's a little advanced for the smaller kids. The littleuns had a super time, as did the adults :)
