As a parent, finding a park that ticks all the boxes for kids of different ages can be a bit of a challenge, but Cantelowes Gardens Playground in Camden is a real winner! On our recent visit, I found that it’s more than just a standard park – it’s a space where kids, parents, and even skaters can all enjoy themselves.

For the little ones, in the Cantelowes Gardens Playground there’s a fantastic children’s area, perfect for under-fives. My kids loved the sandy area where they could dig, build, and get their hands dirty (in the best way possible, of course!). The playground is split into two sections for different age groups, making it a great place for toddlers and older kids alike to play safely. You will find plenty of slides and climbing structures. There are also plenty of benches dotted around, so it’s easy to keep an eye on the little ones while having a quick sit-down.

Now, if you’ve got older kids or teens, and you’re looking for a free place to go with kids in Camden, they’re in for a treat too. Cantelowes Gardens is home to one of London’s best skateparks. It’s always buzzing with skaters of all levels, and it’s such fun to watch them doing their tricks. My son was absolutely thrilled with it and spent ages at the skateboard area. For parents who like to stay active, there’s also basketball court, football pitch, table tennis equipment and outdoor gym equipment!

It’s one of those parks that really offers something for everyone, and with its friendly vibe, it’s no wonder it’s a popular spot. The fact that there are toilet facilities nearby is a massive bonus – always a win when you’ve got kids in tow! I’d definitely recommend Cantelowes Gardens as a hidden gem for family-friendly activities in Camden.

Smarty Parenting Tips:

• Visit during quieter times to avoid the skatepark rush.
• Don’t forget to pack a picnic – the green spaces are lovely for a family lunch.
• The sandy area is perfect for younger kids, so bring toys if you’ve got little ones.

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to let the kids run wild, or a spot where the whole family can enjoy a bit of outdoor fun, Cantelowes Gardens Playground should definitely be on your list. It’s one of the best free family activities in London, especially if you’ve got children of different ages!
