📍 London, Greater London
Southwark Council's staffed adventure playground for 11–16 year olds, with a focus on self-directed play and motor skills development. Staff include specialists with strong autism support skills. Weekday sessions only.
Went to the adventure park today with my grandson who has nonverbal autism. The staff were friendly & relaxed but 1 staff in particular known as AK was AMAZING 🤩. For such a young man what a wealth of knowledge he has especially with autism. I just want to take this time & say a massive thanks to you AK for interacting with my grandson today & I wish you all the luck for your future & hopefully your there to teach many more young people your wisdom. 👍🏼
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best suited for families with school-age children aged 11–16, especially those with autism or additional needs who benefit from a calm, experienced team. The child-led model suits independent kids. Families with noise-sensitive children should know background music is a constant feature. Not open to general public on Sundays.

“Took my child there. She loved it! Lovely big adventure park with lots of activities for children to build their gross motor skills. Staff was friendly and monitoring the adventure park throughout my visit.”

“It is very fun but the biggest swing is uncomfortable because it crashes with the side and the swing seat is uncomfortable. On week days they work from 12to5 and it inconvenient they should work from 3to6 . They could have put more things on it . Like climbing frames . On sundays it dos not work for normal children at all .”
