little h Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 hi Does anyone know if the new one o'clock/ peckham rye playground is opening today?

Bluemum Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 That would be nice! Maybe worth popping in to check it out :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18590-new-playground-opening/#findComment-457168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
busymum Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 didn't look anywhere near finished on Thursday morning but maybe..... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18590-new-playground-opening/#findComment-457169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nappy Lady Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Here now, scaffold fencing still up & not lpoking finished im afraid. Climbing frame looks like it's suitable for older children - 7 plus??Water play will be great but I'm sad not to see more play equipment for 1-4 year olds as this is what I feel the park lacks. Adventure playground is great for 5 plus but I think the little playground is pretty rubbish. Still this is a vast improvement & maybe more kit still to go in.

Otta Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Stuff for the tiny ones seems to be what most parks lack to be honest.Still, at least Wells Park might be quieter now you've got your own water play. That is if the bloody older kids would stop vandaliaing it!

Fuschia Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 There is a roundabout too ... Not very toddler friendly I agree that a playground for smaller children is what's needed Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18590-new-playground-opening/#findComment-457198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
little h Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I totally agree having seen it earlier, not much for the little ones at the moment, yet they will be able to get to it easily from the one o'clock club so will want to try it all out. A missed opportunity here I think... b waslooking through the barriers today...,'where's the tunnel gone? Where's the slide?' he asked' indeedy...

Gussy Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Not sure if it's going back in but most of the old play stuff is still stashed behind one o clock club so perhaps all is not lost!

The Nappy Lady Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I love the concept of natural play, and the actual stream is great (though suspect it will not stop us from crashing Wells Park I'm afraid, as it is nowhere near as exciting as the water jets!).But the wooden stuff I don't really get - those tall posts with a circle on top are too far apart from go from one to the next, and get rather high, the wooden platforms are not particularly exciting, tunnels and stuff more like they have at Goose Green would have been better I think.I hate it, because it makes me sound so miserable and ungrateful, I am really , really pleased that they've done the makeover, honest. I just wish they'd maybe consulted people a bit more, or thought a bit harder about the age group it is aimed at.Ah well, time will tell I guess, and before we know it, our toddlers will be clever 6 year olds zooming around the adventure playground without giving us heart attacks!!

curlykaren Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 And oddly the pump that will send the water down the little stream thingy is actually inside the fence of one o'clock playground?? So mums at the one o'clock club will either be getting cross that their kids are soaking wet from pumping water or that kids not at the club will be running in and out of its gate to work the pump?? Madness. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18590-new-playground-opening/#findComment-457509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
