Adventure play centres

Adventure play centres are welcoming, supervised spaces where children can enjoy both indoor and outdoor play in a safe and stimulating environment.

Open Access

The purpose of the provision is to provide staffed play opportunities for children in the absence of their parents. Children are not restricted in their movements, other than where related to safety matters and are not prevented from coming and going as and when they wish.

Children have the freedom of choice as to what range of play activity they wish to undertake and with whom they play.

Children are required to complete a registration form with emergency contact information.

If you would like to fill out a form in advance please contact the centre.

Explore our centres

Royal Greenwich adventure playgrounds are supervised by experienced and trained staff with facilities that cater primarily for children and young people of school age and ability (ages 6-16). With a strong emphasis on free play, children and young people are encouraged to develop their ideas and choose their own activities. All playgrounds are free to use and inspected annually.
