Shakespeare Walk Adventure Playground (SWAPA) is a charitable organisation run by a voluntary management committee of trustees, who work in partnership with the playwork team.
The playground has been community run for 45 years and has seen generations of young people pass through. Our community has a wealth of diversity - including Kurdish, Turkish, Muslim, Hindu, Irish, English, Egyptian, Caribbean, Greek Cypriot and Eastern European families.
SWAPA is local, it's free and we encourage neighbouring and related friends to all play together. The playground is accessible and all inclusive, which enables children with physical and learning difficulties to share in the freedom of choice and adventure along with their peers.

Making Hard Graft look like Child's Play

This was GoodGym's first time helping out at the Shakespeare Walk Adventure Playground and we had a glorious sunny morning for it.
On arrival, we were offered a range of tasks. Jo and Anne chose to rake sand in the climbing area to even out the ground level.
Meanwhile Matt, Gayle and Jack headed off to the wood pile to shift logs to another area where they can be cut up with the chainsaw without annoying the neighbours.
The hour passed in no time at all, in which time, a mountain of logs had been shifted and the sand was definitely more stripey, if not necessarily more evenly spread.
Sounds like there is plenty to do for this group so look out for more tasks here in future.
