Since 1982 the Thames Valley Adventure Playground has provided a unique range of adventurous, therapeutic and educational play activities, offering fun and freedom for children and adults with all types of disability, however mild or profound, in a safe, caring and stimulating environment.
The Playground experience is totally unique and offers something for everyone. It has no formal catchment area, with over 10,800 visits made in the last year by users from a wide area around the Thames Valley and beyond. They visited with families and as individuals, or with groups from schools, playschemes, day centres and residential units.
Open Tuesday to Saturday all year round, Fridays are reserved for adults with special needs. The Playground is also used by a Youth Club and several local parent support groups.
Advance booking essential.
