Overview
Set within Highgate Wood, this free playground offers equipment well beyond the standard swings-and-slide setup, including climbing structures and activities that regularly surprise first-time visitors. A separately fenced area serves children under 6. An on-site cafe and toilets mean families can stay for hours. A football area adds extra space for older kids to burn energy.
