Baltic Street Adventure Playground

Baltic Street Adventure Playground is supervised adventure playground for children from 6 to 12 years. Younger children are welcome with a carer or guardian. It is free to enter, children are free to come and go, and free to play as they choose.

​We ask that all new children register. Baltic Street is child-led. The children choose what to do and can get involved in everything from the day-to-day management to development of the site. Specially trained playworkers keep children safe, and support them to pursue their own play, from make-belive to construction projects.

Baltic Street Adventure Playground is a young organisation, which was set up in 2013 by the art and architecture collective Assemble, and arts organisation Create, as a temporary and direct response to the lack of play space and out of school provision for community of children and families in Dalmarnock.

The site is in Dalmarnock, on Baltic Street. It is constantly changing, and there are usually a range of tyre swings, tree houses, balancing lines, tunnels and a large climbing frame. There is big collection of loose parts, including ropes, crash-mats, tunnels, nets and balls. There is also a water feature, a large sand pit, a fruit and vegetable garden, two campfires and an outdoor food preparation area, alongside many dens and hide-outs. On the far side of the site, there are two large storage containers which hold a number of adult and child sized tools for construction projects. Also on the far side you can find where all of our animals are housed.

The playground has some indoor space, including toilets, a kitchen and office space for the staff. At the front of the playground you will see the container which holds our food hub.

The nearest train station is Dalmarnock.

​First Buses 89, 90, 46, 65 and 263, SimpliCITY 18 and CG1 all stop near the playground.
