London, Battersea Park

Battersea Park Adventure Playground was started by the Greater London Council in the early 1960s on the site of a former barrage ballon station.

 

The playground had many experimental structures that have now been removed, but it still had some unusual features – such as the tyre tunnels and a very old Tintin-style red rocket.
