I’ve mentioned Leyton’s Jubilee Park several times now. Along with Coronation Gardens it’s one of our favourite places to find nature in the city. This week, as we finally saw a bit of sun we decided to make the most of it! Also, Mushroom’s cousins, who at 10 and 12, are a bit young for the kiddie park on the corner, were with us for the day today and we wanted to take them somewhere local that they hadn’t visited before.
The park can be accessed via the main road but we decided to take the more natural route…
Wait for me, girls!
We ran across the open field and Mushroom enjoyed scrambling up the muddy bank…
Once we got to the park we saw something new had been added…
Our ship is coming!
It’s not quite finished but Mushroom and I are very excited about playing on this ship in the next few weeks – he loves ships and he’s especially excited about the red tunnel slide. Red is his favourite colour and he loves tunnel slides. However, the current one is a bit too big for him (this climbing frame is aimed at children over 9)…
Can I get up this way? No…
But he managed to find a way to get up there!
…but I can get a lift up this way!
Mushroom ‘persuaded’ his cousins to take up him over and over and over…
There was a lot of laughing and screaming and we all had a great afternoon enjoying what looks like it might be the start of spring, heading home only when the sun started to set…
…and Mushroom fell asleep at 8.30. Result!

Glad you guys were able to be out and about in great weather! We’re enjoying some nice weather here too, and I took my son to the museum to enjoy some fresh air.
That ship looks ace – I really want a go ha x
Me too! It should be open soon 🙂
Sounds like a fab time…that ship looks like it is going to be awesome #countrykids
I know of two parks with pirate ships. I’m ashamed to say I enjoy playing on them as much as the kids.
Don’t be ashamed, embrace your inner child! I cannot wait for that pirate ship to be open for playtime. We’re going to head back there soon!
