A £3m refurbishment of the Princess Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens will upgrade its facilities and improve accessibility, after receiving planning permission from Kensington and Chelsea Council. The playground, which attracts over a million visitors annually, will see enhancements like a new pirate ship and a multi-level tree house, both designed for inclusive play. Funded by the Royal Parks charity and donations, the upgrade aims to maintain the playground's original charm while creating an open and engaging environment for children of all abilities.
The planned accessibility improvements will mean that the playground is open and welcoming to all children.
Working with play specialist providers, our own landscape teams, and the local community we have developed proposals that will continue to make this playground an experience like no other.
The current galleon ship at the playground will be replaced with a new galleon - complete with a crow's nest, ship's wheel and telescope.
The approved plans would retain the characteristics of the existing Peter Pan-inspired playground.
