Kilburn Grange Adventure Playground offers stimulating play opportunities to children and young people.

Project

Kilburn Grange Adventure Playground

Funding

The playground was built with a slice of £2.7m in Play Pathfinders cash awarded to Camden Council

Background

Kilburn Grange Adventure Playground opened in a blaze of publicity in 2010 as part of the then government's Play Pathfinders scheme, playing host to supervised play sessions and holiday schemes. However, these sessions ceased when the council's play service fell victim to cuts. The play service was re-commissioned from the voluntary sector from September 2012 and now a local charity has taken over the adjoining play centre - the play hut - and is exploring new ways to make the most of the playground.
