Roman Road Adventure Playground is our exciting, open-access space for local children aged 6 to 14. Here we offer:
- an inclusive space for children of all backgrounds to meet with friends and climb, jump, play, and swing
- exciting play structures designed for fun and physical challenges that help build confidence and resilience
- creative and social activities (that can sometimes get messy!) planned by our Playworkers and led by the children
- free fruit and water, alongside a tuck shop where children can buy drinks and snacks
The Adventure Playground is staffed by our qualified and experienced Playworker team, meaning parents and carers can feel confident that their child is in a safe space. All we ask is that adults fill out a registration form the first time their child attends.
How we’re making a difference in the community
Developed as a partnership project between Clarion Housing and Tower Hamlets council in 2010, Roman Road was the very first adventure playground to be built by a housing association in England.
Fully funded by Clarion Futures, it’s an inclusive, supportive environment for children of all abilities to try new things and develop together. Our Playworkers are on hand to help facilitate sessions and keep everyone safe and happy but ultimately, children take the lead on how they want to play.
“Everybody is really kind, and I’ve made lots of friends over the five years I’ve been coming here. I do lots of fun things and get to learn different skills.” - Charlotta, Resident
What’s happening at Roman Road this season?
Winter 2024-25
The Adventure Playground is open all school holidays, except during the Christmas period. We will close on Friday 20 December 2024 and open again on Tuesday 07 January 2025.
Depending on what the weather brings us, we have a lovely warm building to play inside but be sure to wrap up warm too as we’ll always try to get outside when possible.
