Following the success of our inaugural meeting in November 2023, the Adventure Playground Network’s next get-together is scheduled for Friday 23rd February, 11am – 1pm.
The subject of this meeting’s discussion, as proposed by Malcolm King from The Venture at the last event, is the relationship of adventure playgrounds to local government.
This might include:
- implications for adventure playgrounds of the precarious state of local government finances;
- matters concerning local authority grants and commissioning processes;
- tenancies and leases; and,
- the opportunities and threats faced by many adventure playgrounds as they deliver on services for children and families previously provided by our nations’ often underfunded local councils.

If you were at the last meeting, thank you for all of your contributions and to those whose suggestions have developed the discussion topics for the forthcoming conversation. If you weren’t in attendance at the previous meeting, we’d like to extend this invitation to you to join a likeminded collective of adventure playground representatives.
The vision for this collaborative venture is to connect playworkers, from across Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to discuss issues affecting the adventure playground sector and shape the agenda for subsequent bimonthly meetings.
Ali Long (Course Director, Leeds Beckett) will be guest Chairing this meeting with the support of Mike Wragg (Senior Lecturer, Leeds Beckett) and Siôn Edwards (Chair, Playwork Foundation).
