Dulwich Park Playground

[nunheadmum]

Is the playground open yet? I don't use the park that much but remember seeing on here a discussion about it being re-done. We were thinking of going down this weekend for a change but maybe not worth it if it's not open.

yes

Thanks. Next question - is it any good? Is it just a revamp along the lines of what was there or have they done anything different?

We've got 3 kids to entertain - 6, 7 and 9, the youngest being a visitor - and weighing up the novelty of something different over the known quantity of the Adventure Playground at Peckham Rye Park. Obviously trying to create the perfect afternoon to convince out of townies that who needs to go anywhere else!!

I like it. Lots of grass space and mini hills all fenced off from dogs etc. So you can perch on the top of a mound and keep an eye on the kids.

It's perfect for a picnic or snack up there imo.

If you've got time to kill, you can obv do the duck walk, gym equipment and then playground for the bulk of the day.

Worth a shot

I would nip into gallery too?

Even if just the grounds for a run around

Along those same lines... Does anyone know if the renovation of the playground at Greenwich is finished yet? xx

I think maybe kids those ages might get bored more quickly than they would at the adventure playground. If you wanted a change of scene maybe dog kennel hill adventure playground - or the playground in Brockwell park which is awesome. The new one at DP is good...but my six year old "did" it v quickly whereas in either of the adventure playgrounds he can play for hours.

We went to the playground at the bottom of Greenwich park on Tuesday. There were no building works taking place but I can't say that I particularly noticed that any renovation works had taken place. Are there two playgrounds here?

Greenwich has finished and it is WONDERFUL. We go q often and it is significantly different and improved - lots of wooden climbing frames etc that weren't there before. It's the same layout though

Agreed, really lovely place.

Think Crystal Palace Park could do with some investment. Great sandpit, but the rest of it is a bit rubbish.

Brockwell park playground is the best! I never go to Dulwich Park, despite it being closer.
