Crumbles Castle Adventure Playground

About this day nursery

Crumbles Castle Adventure Playground, overseen by the Islington Play Association, offers a stimulating and secure environment for children aged six and up to engage in imaginative and active play. Nestled within Bingfield Park, this unique playground transports visitors from the urban landscape to a natural wonderland, complete with hidden swings and various structures for climbing and exploration.

Emphasizing its role as a play service rather than a childcare facility, the playground encourages freedom and discovery. Historically, community involvement played a significant role in its establishment, with local children and parents contributing to its construction between 1968 and 1971.

The design creatively incorporates materials from the area's past, such as cobbles from the demolished Beaconsfield Buildings. This enduring legacy ensures that generations of Islington's children continue to benefit from its vibrant and adventurous atmosphere.

The facility also provides opportunities for private hire for events like children's parties.

Our ethos

Crumbles Castle Adventure Playground operates as a play service, prioritizing imaginative and active play, freedom, and discovery for children aged six and up, rather than functioning as a traditional childcare facility. The playground's unique design, incorporating natural elements and salvaged historical materials, fosters an adventurous atmosphere for exploration and engagement.
