Holland Park Adventure Playgrounds

The best playground we’ve taken our kids to in London. Truly an adventure playground with lots of climbing frames, a flying fox, water play area and balance beams. There’s a nice cafe nearby too.

Had a great afternoon running around this park with our son.

Awesome play equipment which was a welcome step up from the toddler playground nearby.

Good for adventurous and active kids 2 years and up. Fun for active parents, too.

Very nice playground with extraordinarily big and complex climbing frames, swings, a zip line… the area is nice and green away from London‘s hustle and bustle. Lots of benches for parent’s to relax. We were here on a weekday during the summer holidays and it wasn’t crowded at all.

Great playground! There are plenty of structures to climb, a variety of slides and even two spouts for water play. Great for a variety of ages. If remember correctly, the sign at the front says it's intended for kids 5-14.

There is a big slide, swings, trampoline and some others whose name I am not aware of.
Amazing for children

Definitely one of the best playground I've ever been to. So much to do, entertained older kids as well as a 2 year old for an entire afternoon.

Brilliant, fun, adventurous and unique. My three (4, 9 and 11) all found something for them and were having non-stop fun.

You can tell how much thought has gone into it, from the little (arguably pointless) buggy/scooter bridge over the drain channel to the rotating thing on the downspout which would only work in the rain.

The wooden structures were made by someone who clearly listened to kids and thought ‘no, a bridge between a slide and a climbing thing isn’t good enough’. Cue holes, interesting ways to ascend, platforms on angles, holes to climb in, challenging slides, and more.

The zip line is beautiful between two redwood trees, but with ample space. The two swinging ropes over a dip are a fun addition - though smaller kids might struggle to get down to them from the entrance. And the long hanging swinging rope is surprisingly stable.

Despite being a playground with safe/squishy landing areas, it feels like it’s in the middle of a wildlife meadow. In many cases this is beautiful, taking a leaf from Greenwich park’s playground, but it also has the same pitfall that it’s easy to lose shorter kids. Maybe time for a sensitive trim?

Speaking of which, due to excitement, you’ll likely miss the eco space on the right as you come in, give it a moment to pause to see big hotels, a wildlife space and more.

Unsurprisingly to any parent who has been to a park with a ‘water feature’, they don’t work / have been turned off for winter / etc. Expect the usual disappointment but this isn’t a big deal as the rest of the park is so much more interesting!

There are toilets, one accessible and one regular (someone seems to have scratched off the ‘women’ symbol), though neither of them had any soap. The rest of park is also accessible through ramps.

Amazingly build. Hours of activities for kids and you will find it very difficult to get them out of there. Great for ages 3 to 12 or even more. Spacious so doesn’t seem crowded. Toilets are a bit far but within reach. My kids loved it here!!!
