SATURDAY 19TH MAY We need YOU to take part in our sponsored walk! If you don't fancy walking, you could always Sponsor Sid!     Climb Ev'ry Mountain?  Well, nearly - the 12-strong team from the King's Head Cricket Club are undertaking the 3 Peaks Challenge at the end of June to raise vital funds for the Adventure Playground. 12 people, 3 peaks, 24 hours - and a game of cricket at the top of each peak!  Incredible!

As children, most of us would take for granted the chance to get out and about, exploring, climbing trees, visiting the park and hanging out with friends, but for many children and adults with a special need, it just isn't possible.  If you have a physical disability, the difficulties are more obvious, but, if you have a learning disability or sensory problems, you may find it hard to relate to other people and to join in their games. Since 1982 the Thames Valley Adventure Playground  has provided a chance for children & adults with all types of special need to enjoy the fun, freedom and friendship afforded by the opportunity to play and share experiences in a safe and stimulating environment.  Wheelchair-accessible roundabouts and swings, elevated walkways allowing someone with profound and multiple problems to enjoy the excitement of 'climbing' trees, bucket seats with safety harnesses to enable them to experience the thrill of whizzing down a zip wire, multi-sensory rooms to stimulate and relax, with specially-trained staff to provide help and support - these are just a few of the things on offer.

Calling all Toddlers

The Playground's integrated toddlers' group meets every Wednesday morning

Last year over
4,000 visitors made
nearly 13,600 visits to
The Playground, with users travelling from all over the Thames Valley and beyond as there is nowhere quite like The Playground closer to home. 
As a registered charity, it costs in excess of £300,000 a year to keep the Playground going.  With as little as 5% of the money we will need this year coming from local authority funding, the support of the local community is absolutely crucial in helping to maintain a service which is of huge benefit to so many children and adults who have a special need.
