Apsley Road Playground, Neighborhood playground in South Norwood, United Kingdom.
Apsley Road Playground is a children's play area located in the residential neighborhood of South Norwood with various play equipment. The site occupies a modest land area and provides a dedicated space for local children to play.
Croydon Borough acquired the Apsley Road property in 1946 and established the children's playground in 1951. The site was thus transformed from wartime use into a community space.
This local recreation space serves as a gathering point where neighborhood children and parents regularly meet. The open design encourages casual connections between families living nearby.
The playground is accessible through its main entrance on Apsley Road and is located close to the Harrington Road Tramlink stop. Public transport access makes it easy to reach by tram.
Before 1951, a World War II air raid shelter stood on this site. The shelter was removed in 1973 when the land was repurposed as a children's play space.
