Apsley Road Playground, Neighborhood playground in South Norwood, United Kingdom.
The Apsley Road Playground extends across 0.25 acres of land, offering play equipment for children in a residential section of South Norwood.
The Borough of Croydon purchased the property at 15 Apsley Road in 1946 and established the children's playground in 1951.
This local recreation space serves families in South Norwood, providing a gathering point for neighborhood children and parents.
The playground remains accessible through its main entrance on Apsley Road, with the Harrington Road Tramlink stop located nearby for public transportation.
