Shakespeare Walk Adventure Playground

For over 45 years, Shakespeare Walk Adventure Playground (SWAPA), an independently run registered charity offers unaccompanied 6-16 year olds a free safe space to experience outdoor physical play including healthy risk taking, and free childcare for their parents and carers. We won Best Adventure Playground in London 2023! SWAPA sits between one of the wealthiest and most deprived neighbourhoods in Hackney, which attracts hard to reach socio-economic backgrounds and neurodiverse needs. In 2023 we had 588 unique young people, 3700 visits total and served free hot lunches over the school holidays - 60% to young people on free school meals.
