Find out how to get to Millpond Adventure Playground .

At Millpond Adventure Playground we encourage imaginative play and make believe.

On sunny days use the deck for your picnic which overlooks the toddler area and spend the day with us. If it’s soggy, bring your wellies and enjoy a game of stuck in the mud (literally!). Take part in our wacky race days on our trike track, where you can bring your own wheels or use some of ours.

Millpond offers:

Open Access Play

Open access play is free to all Crawley children aged 6 – 18. If children are to be left unsupervised their parents or carers need to complete a registration form accepting the following:

• The gate is open for children to come and go as they please
• The Play Service is not responsible for keeping children on site and is not responsible for them when they leave.
• There is no limit on the number of children who may attend – however the numbers in the buildings are monitored.
• They must abide by the Play Service rules and collect their child if asked to by a play worker
• Our qualified play workers and volunteers are all police checked and carry out regular safety checks

How you could help us

The playgrounds are supported by local people as well as other people. People volunteer in many ways, from donations of paint, wood and old shop fittings to helping with the tuck shop, activities, events and even washing up!

There are many ways to get involved. For more information please visit the site and talk to one of the playworkers.

We always need: pens, paper, big cardboard boxes, dressing up clothes, old blankets and duvet covers.
