Belle Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Does anyone know if it's open in the holidays? I know there was a fun day there yesterday but forgot to check opening times.

Fuschia Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I find it more stressful than dkhThere are a lot of high walkways and platforms and it's hard to keep track of where your children are, on busy days You can pick blackberries there though ...

Pickle Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Great for adventurous 4 year olds! The flying fox is good fun. Fuschia, I'm the opposite, I find DKH the more stressful location!

Fuschia Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think for 4 and up, it's not much different, but if you have a 2-3 yo, DKH is a bit less death defying (plus has the sandpit)But my children are particularly kami Kazi Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35140-peckham-rye-adventure-playground/#findComment-669038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
number 2 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 They've just changed it to 5 years and up I found out today. Younger children are allowed in but they're not allowed to play on anything!!

wonderwoman Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I have kids aged 9, 6 and 3 who enjoy both. But we have visited DKH more and had birthdays there too. Although we don't have major preferences I do find that the facilities in DKH are a bit more dated, but the indoor space is bigger than the one in Peckham. I have had some unsavoury encounters with other children who are shall we say "not so nice" in DKH as opposed to Peckham which did put me off going to DKH for a while, which was a shame...I'm talking 6 year olds bullying and swearing and that's at me not the children!

snowboarder Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yes as number 2 found apparently from next week no under 5s will be allowed on any of the play structures. We had fun today with a group of 4 and 2.5 year olds - a shame it will be a while before we can go again!!Oh - just to add - I thought it was easier to keep track of everyone than dkh - just better visibility and fewer dark corners.

vesti Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Given DKH and Peckham Rye clearly state 8+ (or 5+ on some parts of Southwark website relating Peckham Rye) on their websites I don't understand why people so keen to thrust much younger children in there. Plenty of, adventurous, playspaces available for younger children and why should older children in Adventure playgrounds designed for them have to look out for, and in some instances have their play restricted by, 2, 3, 4, 5 year olds?

Try separating my was 4 now 5-year old from his 8-year old brother for example! Most people monitor and look after the younger ones and keep them on few more suitable areas of the PR one or just on the grassy areas anyway so as to avoid 'restricting' the play of older ones.

snowboarder Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It was just somewhere different and fun to go.....we've done the local playgrounds to death over the last 4 years :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35140-peckham-rye-adventure-playground/#findComment-670412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-Kennel-Hill A.P Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Its always great to hear feedback on the playground. Whilst we state 8 plus, this is when children are left unnatended.We welcome under 5's as many parents come with a mixture of ages & some kids who have been coming from when they were babies even so are used to the structures & space. We love having the mothers in with their babes in arms!I know we are in need of un updated building, I regularly day dream about how wonderful one would be! Be great to have your email addresses so i could get an idea of what facilities you would like to see. Sorry for those that have experienced rude children. Feel free to message us anytimeKate x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35140-peckham-rye-adventure-playground/#findComment-670538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-Kennel-Hill A.P Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I may talk to Patrick (manager of playground) and see if we can have a coffee & cake morning & play! Oh, and discuss our wants of a new building.x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35140-peckham-rye-adventure-playground/#findComment-670539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I love DKH Adventure Playground! When we've been my son hasn't really paid any attention to the building, he's been interested purely in the outdoors stuff, but can see for older kids partiuclarly it could come into its own.
