The Children's Play Pavilion and Park

The Children’s Pavilion is a modern building in Mile End Park.  With the Art Pavilion and the Ecology Pavilion It is one of three earth sheltered buildings in the park. 

Stay and Play sessions are held at the pavilion. There is also a fantastic playground.   

• Water fountains,  

• A castle to climb on. 

• A dry riverbed with boats and bridges 

• An imaginative sand pit  

• An interactive water feature.  This will only be operated in hot sunny weather. 

We are committed to inclusive play so that children with and without disabilities can play together. Our play equipment helps children to have fun and creative play. 

Organisations that run regular play sessions in the Pavilion include: Toyhouse libraries, Al Huda After School Club, and the Somalian Home Educational Children 

The building is fully accessible. In the playground a platform see-saw is wheelchair accessible.
