windmill hill city farm

The Adventure Playground was opened in 1983 and is one of 5 Playgrounds in Bristol. It consists of an outdoor space with timber play structures and an indoor activity centre. We open six days a week offering a child-centred, challenging, stimulating and safe environment in which to meet and play.

We actively support the right of children and young people to access freely chosen play opportunities and to be consulted in matters relating to them. Playground users help to design, build and transform their own play space using a wide variety of materials
and plenty of ingenuity.

A team of experienced play workers and volunteers are on hand to support and enable children and young people to shape and enjoy a changing environment for imaginative, social, creative and physical play. Through this they are able to learn and develop their skills, build confidence, independence and self esteem. We also advise and support parents and carers who come to the playground.

The playground is a popular meeting place for hundreds of local children and young people. It is used mainly by 8 - 14 year olds but under 8's are welcome if accompanied by a responsible adult.

The Adventure Playground opening times are as follows:

• Tuesday to Friday 3.30pm to 7pm
• Saturday 11am to 5pm
• We are CLOSED on Mondays

All children under 8 years must be accompanied by an adult. Playscheme activities are free but we welcome a donation of £1.00 per child to help cover costs. Drinks and light refreshments are also available for you to buy - all proceeds go to the Adventure Playground.

Other activities for children and young people on the farm include the following:

• Voluntary work
• Sports activities
• Arts& Crafts activities
