Anybody want to hook up to fill the Summer holidays? Lots of our friends will be away or the mums work all through the Summer.


I have a 6 yo boy (very full of beans, likes to play with girls as well as boys) and 14m old b/g twins. We like to hang out at Dulwich Park, the Horniman, Peckham Rye Park, we can drive, keen to try paddling pools, the fountain things at Sydenham Wells, ... anything that's open (is CP one o'clock club open?) Free activities of any kind, in fact!


Anyone want to get together as a bit of a posse and meet up to do stuff as I find managing things like buying myself a cup of tea or going to the loo is hard work with a double buggy in tow!!


It might work to suggest a place to meet each day and any mums who're free just pitch up... no need to have an older child but personally I'd be looking for places that would suit an older one as well as babies.. one of mine is walking, one is still crawling.

PS If we do form some sort of summer mus club, I'm good at googling and finding stuff that's on. There are usually things on at libraries and childrens centres etc locally. But if you have a few extra kids, something like a picnic just becomes much more fun!
We would be keen to also join you. I have a 3.5 year old and 8 month. Both boys. The older one has chicken pox at the moment so we will be house bound for a few weeks but after that it would be great to meet up and get then new playmates. Please keep us posted.

I'm in - have a very nearly 5 year old and a just 8 month old. Will be away for much of August, but would be keen to join you for the start and end of the summer holidays.....and Wednesay's are good for me too generally.


Meeting in Peckham Rye Park would be a great starting point, and I imagine other stuff will quickly branch off on various days.


Has anyone done the Robot Zoo at the Horniman by the way, and if so, what did you think of it?

Sounds like there are loads of people up for this, great! My kids both have a lunchtime sleep from around 12ish till around 2ish (my sanity time!!)... is it possible to arrange things for the afternoon? (the only reason I ask is that I notice other meets that have happened have been at 12, so I can't go along :'()

    • I agree, the people in the park office seem to be invisible. Quite why we need a park office I am not sure. Perhaps it is to do with all the maintenance and upkeep for which there will be organisation and admin. It may be expensive but I do think funding some sort of regular park safety oversight should be a priority. Southwark to want young people to use the park, as do we all, but there probably does need to be some sort of supervision for everyone's sake.  
    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
