Abstract

Children in Holloway played on their self-made water channelling course in an expanded part of the Martin Luther King adventure playground.

The playground, located next to Paradise Park, has had a temporary grass extension to the north of the site, allowing children to play on the grass.

Islington Council’s adventure playgrounds manager Lucy Benson said: “The extension is not very big and we simply moved the fence which has made such a difference to the quality of play. They can experiment and run around, and different age groups can play together.”

The playground hosts between 40 and 60 children after school every day. Islington’s 12 adventure playgrounds are open access so children can come and go as they please, but must be registered to attend.

The playgrounds provide outdoor structures and play activities throughout the school term, after school and full-time during school holidays.
