We knew St Paul's Adventure Playground would be good as we went to the Easton one 2 years ago on our original playground quest. But we were so impressed with this playground. Adventure playgrounds are less about traditional playground equipment and more about the imagination. There were loads of nets, ropes and climbing things, and much of the playground is built among some trees giving it a lovely peaceful character and lots of welcome shade on a sunny August day. There was a lovely treehouse reached by several ladders/steps. Thomas and Anna's favourite part was a den area hidden away under one of the wooden walkways, they spent ages playing in there and I actually got to enjoy a book (I had played with them for 45 mins by that point). There is a lovely sand and water area and the Adventure Playground also leads onto a cute traditional playground which had a rope seesaw swing thing like the one we found at Horfield Common last week, but bigger. The tuck shop opened now and again and prices were good - 10p for an ice pop, 20p for basic lollies, 30p for crisps, 40p for juice, chocolate or tea/coffee. The kids were reluctant to come away after over 2.5 hours, but are pleased we plan to visit another Adventure Playground tomorrow.
