About the Adventure Playground

A truly unique space for child-led play in Richmond upon Thames

With towering wooden structures, wide open spaces, and endless opportunities for exploration, the Adventure Playground is a place where children take the lead. Here they can build, climb, experiment, get muddy — and learn fantastic life lessons along the way.

Every year, thousands of children come through our gates to play freely, form new friendships, and discover what makes them tick.

A Space Just for Children

No adults allowed inside the playground

To give children a sense of independence and ownership, adults aren’t permitted inside the Adventure Playground during sessions. This helps children:

  • Make their own choices

  • Explore freely

  • Connect with others outside of school or family settings

Our trained playworkers supervise the space, support play, and offer fun, creative activities each day.

We welcome children with a wide range of needs and want to make sure every child has what they need to thrive.
