About Grove Adventure Playground

Grove in Gordon Grove has a long history going back 50 years and has some of the most adventurous climbing equipment in London.  LJAG rescued Grove Adventure Playground from permanent closure and since the summer of 2018 we have run holiday and Saturday playschemes.  Over 400 children and young people between the ages of six and 14 are registered to use the playground and our popular holiday playschemes are attended by up to 75 children a day.
