Gainsborough Adventure Playground

 (9 miles away)

GAPA is a unique playground that offers exciting outdoor play and has a distinctive well equipped play building. GAPA is safe, clean and has a welcoming environment for children and young people, supervised by a team of experienced and qualified play staff.

GAPA offers an extensive activity programme during school holidays as well as year-round after-school play provision. We encourage child-led play experiences both indoors and outdoors in all types of weather and throughout the seasons. Activities such as music, games, sports, cooking and arts and crafts are facilitated by playworkers with the children’s consultation. The staff offer support and encouragement for children to try new experiences, gain confidence, take risks and push boundries. The playground can be a messy place at times with lots of paint, glue etc so please ensure that old clothes are worn during play sessions.

As well as the Open Access Play Provision we run lots of other services from both GAPA and around the town. These include a Playgroup for children aged 2 - 5yrs, lots of groups for children aged 0 - 4yrs wit their parents/carers, a café, training and workshop opportunities for parents and members of the local community.
