Best for families with children aged 1–5 who want a relaxed outdoor play session with a spectacular view payoff for parents. The sand area with shared toys is a consistent hit with younger children.

β€œGood fun little playground. Its a shame the zip wire is out of use at the moment, seemingly a Covid related thing. There's still plenty of fun stuff, swings, climbing frames, stuff like that, to play on. The views across London are wonderful too!”
