๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for school-age children aged 6-15 who benefit from unstructured, self-directed outdoor play with real physical challenge. The junk-materials approach looks unconventional and delivers engagement that polished playgrounds rarely match. Bring a change of clothes and a swimsuit in summer for the paddling pool.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

โฐPack a change of clothes as the adventure equipment and materials will get clothes dirty

โ€œStumbled upon this place with my kids in the summer when I'd had to bring them to work and was trying to find somewhere for them to burn off some energy. Absolutely amazing equipment and play structures. Made me feel kinda sorry for the very nice playground across the park! There were a lot of kids but generally they were fine. There was some kind of police incident but the adults in charge were great at distracting the kids. There was also a paddling pool, I'd recommend a change of clothes or swimming costume and towel on a hot day again!!โ€

โ€œThis adventure playground was my childhood. It allowed me to have one of my first ounces of independence. The staff, especially Michael and Antonio, are especially good role models and dedicate their own time to looking after the children that go there. It is a safe environment for kids, especially working class kids, to engage in activities. The community has benefited from this humble playground and no matter how much money they spend on Shoreditch park itself, this playground remains unbeatable in its authenticity.โ€

โ€œVery good location in the heart of Hoxton, at the Shoreditch Park. This playground has big territory for play with mainly 'junk materials' play equipment and focus on nature and slightly - the Underground Culture. Definitely, after ongoing refurbishment (October 2018) it will be even more interesting and fun. However, even now there is enough play equipment and other things to do (indoors too)โ€
