Adopt a Playground

Are you looking for a truly unique way to support your local London community and make a difference in the lives of children?

By partnering with us, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with a local community and interact with charity workers, parents, and – most importantly – children and young people to understand how the organisation's funding support can be better used. Together with their ideas, we'll design and construct a new bespoke play equipment with the help of volunteers from your organisation.

  • The Problem

    Our consultations with adventure playgrounds across London have revealed an urgent need for funding to replace ageing play structures. With many playgrounds having served their communities for more than 50 years, many wooden structures are being deemed unsafe; if repairs cannot be made, they will have to be decommissioned. With the steep increase in the cost of timber and materials, many wooden play structures simply remain untouched and unused, which can sometimes lead to the closure of an entire adventure playground. Over the last decade, sadly, 13 playgrounds have been closed completely.

  • The Solution

    To address this urgent need for funding and support, we've created a unique programme where our corporate partners can play a crucial role in helping to enhance community play spaces by:

    1. Funding the necessary resources for a project.

    2. Working with us collaboratively to deliver it in a very hands-on way.

The Process

  • 1- Consultation

    London Play Design is hosting a community consultation session for your organization to connect with the community you’re supporting, and to understand their needs and aspirations for the available space and resources.

  • 2- Design

    Once the design brief receives unanimous approval, our expert team will start the creative process. A comprehensive set of drawings for the space will be produced and then presented back to our partner running the adventure playground for final sign-off.

  • 3- Delivering the project

    We will plan and organize the project carefully, including scheduling volunteer days with you and your colleagues to work hands-on at the playground site, which may require multiple days and support from other professionals or a dedicated volunteer team.

  • 4- Grand Opening

    To express our gratitude for your financial contribution and actively participating in the transformation of the play space, we will install a metal sign bearing your company’s name on the play equipment and officially unveil the new additions for all to enjoy.

Leave a legacy for London’s children.

By adopting a playground and committing to its transformation, your organisation will truly be the driver towards creating a safer and more engaging space for generations of children and young people. Let's collaborate to bring play, joy and opportunity back to London’s local communities. 

 Together, we can make a real and lasting difference.
