This post is from from my other blog here Acton Park Play Centre feels like a bit of an undiscovered gem. Blogging about it, I almost feel disloyal to other parents who know about it.
It's situated at the south east corner of
Acton Park, in a relatively new building.
Inside are lots of
different toys, including plenty of
role play toys - my daughter has spent a ridiculous amount of time playing with a wooden microwave (okay, so we don't have one at home - is she trying to tell me something?). There's a small
climbing area, a small
soft play area and a big table with glue, paper, pens, scissors... plenty of craft action at the ready.
There are also a
couple of easels and pots of paint, with painting smocks at the ready for your child to create their latest masterpiece. See my daughter in the image above, about to create her work of art!
On cold, rainy (or yes even snowy) days, this is a
nice warm environment with plenty to amuse your toddler (or baby), or even older child. It's always lovely and warm inside and you can buy a cheap cup of tea or coffee too!
For when the weather isn't quite so unbearable, it's great to spend time just outside of the Play Centre where there is a fantastic playground (to be featured on this blog shortly!!). Last summer the Play Centre put water troughs and cups outside so the children could indulge in some great
messy play!
If you can brave the weather to get there, it's a wonderful relief from staying indoors!
Oh - and did I mention it was
free?
