The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground is currently closed for a major renewal and will reopen for Summer 2026.

After welcoming children for 25 years of play, since the playground opened in 2000, many of the playground's play features have now reached the end of their life.  

The Royal Parks charity is undertaking a £3 million renewal of the much-loved playground.  

The renewed playground will retain the characteristics of the existing Peter Pan-inspired playground but will provide more accessible and inclusive play, as well as  challenging physical play, so that children of all abilities can enjoy creative and imaginative play together.
