Triangle Adventure Playground
London, UK
The Triangle Adventure Playground is an oasis of green space offering the young people (aged up to 17) of its sprawling local estates a safe space in which to develop physically, emotionally and socially. The playground encourages children of varying abilities to extend themselves by experiment and exploration, all under the watchful eyes of its trained, professional play-workers. Our service is especially valued by parents and carers because after school and in the holidays the Triangle is, for many children, the only place to play or ‘hang out’ other than the streets, which enables their parents or carers to work or study in the knowledge that they are safe and secure. Free of charge, and with its open access policy, we are especially proud that our playground is a happy, harmonious place for young people representative of the full range of London’s multi-cultural society. Activities include free adventure play, construction, gardening, cooking, sport, art and crafts, environmental activities, music, dance and drama. The playground holds an historic place in the development of play theory being the oldest adventure playground site in London. It was founded in 1957 and now provides challenging activities for over 1,000 young people. The playground gets a lot of wear and tear. We need volunteers to dig out the old woodchip and replace it with new, to prepare and varnish the wood play cabin, to paint our boundary fence white so that the children can repaint a mural on it and of course money for the materials involved.
