Employer Bio

Garston Adventure Playground started out as a Summer Holiday playscheme which was run by local parents and residents at Garston Park. Having recognised the need for a permanent place for children and young people to play in the area, they set about finding the ideal site and funding. With the help of funding from central government and a lot of hard work, work on Garston Adventure Playground began in 1978. In 1980, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the playground.
