As part of Islington Giving’s commitment to investing in young people we are proud to be able to announce that Lumpy Hill adventure playground will now be opening on a Saturday.
Adventure playgrounds grew out of community action – children were playing on derelict sites and old bomb sites and adults recognised that the types of play; the den building, the risk taking, the hiding spaces, the team games and tree climbing were essential opportunities for children living in a highly built up, urban environment. Playgrounds have developed and changed but the core aim remains – to allow children who do not have access because of where they live, their lifestyle or the financial restrictions on their families to nature, playing freely and building and changing their environments.
Islington Giving is building on the success of these facilities to open them up to many new children, young people and their families by opening them at weekends when the sites have been usually closed.
Parents and volunteers with skills will learn how to share that knowledge with children, young people and other parents.
