Who We AreWe are an inclusive play provision in Hackney for 5-15 year olds and sometimes older depending on their contribution and effect upon other users.
Shakespeare Walk Adventure Playground provides a range of open access play services for all children and young people. The playground is open access, which means all the children are able to use the facilities free of charge.
Children who come on their own must be registered. We have over 300 children and young people registered who can attend at any time we are open.
