1 / 2Hampstead Heath Extension Playground
📍 London, Greater London
Small, fenced playground with a slide and climbing frame for young children. Quiet, shaded, with picnic tables — best used as a rest stop during Heath walks rather than a standalone destination.
Hidden gem, worried if this playground ever gets too busy, for now it's a fantastic quiet play space we hit up regularly
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for parents with toddlers and under-5s who want a calm, fenced outdoor space during a wider Heath walk. Older children will exhaust the equipment quickly. Pairs well with a woodland amble or pond visit nearby.

“A basic playground with a minimal of equipment located in a secondary segment of the Heath. Some evocative woodland, fields and connected ponds make for a pleasant amble on sloped terrain. Be mindful of juvenile mountain bike enthusiasts testing their mettle in this arena.”

Overview
Hampstead Heath Extension Playground sits in a secondary area of the Heath surrounded by woodland and connected ponds. Equipment is minimal — a small slide and low climbing frame suited to under-5s — with safety fencing that prevents wandering. Swings have been removed. Picnic tables and shade make it a pleasant stop. Mountain bikers use nearby trails, so watch young children near the perimeter.
