1 / 3Highfield Adventure Playground
📍 Nether Edge, North West
Free community-run adventure playground in Nether Edge offering a tall tower with tube slide, zip lines, sand areas, ride-on toys, and indoor spaces with kitchen and music room. Available for private hire for parties.
My granddaughter and I visited Highfield Adventure Garden for the first time yesterday. What a fantastic find! From the welcoming registration table onward ,this free playground proves that when people work together in community the best of humanity shines through. We were both made to feel at home and my granddaughter loved the facility, friendship and variety of activities, including a craft shed staffed by two amazing women who managed to make working with at least a dozen eager children look like a walk in the park! Happy kids and relaxed adults equals an ideal day out: Highfield delivers all this and more!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a free, relaxed outdoor space where children play freely and parents can chat without the pressure of a paid venue. Zip lines and the tower suit children aged roughly 4–12; sand and ride-ons cater to toddlers. The volunteer atmosphere makes it especially welcoming for first-time visitors.

“Love this place! Friendly and caring staff and clear measures in place for safety. Sand everywhere, toys and ride-ons for little ones. The tall tower and tube slide has occupied my two children for 40 kins solid so far, they haven't even got as far as the zip line. Nice atmosphere with other children and parents friendly and relaxed. Beautiful mural! We are in Sheffield on holiday and felt welcome, home from home. See if you can find the details in the mural!”

“An exemplary Adventure Playground that we were able to hire out for my daughter's birthday. Excellent venue and a helpful and professional administrative team helping to deal with deposits and site payments. I would heartily recommend this site.”

“This is a really good playground where you can book the place for different events for a really cheap price. You get the indoor zaria which has bathroom kitchen and dinning room, a music room and a toddlers upstairs room close the toddler and older children Outdoors playground. My daughter enjoyed her birthday party so much and her friends too. There are crafts and home education groups plus lots of activities”
