Play
Children need to play to develop their potential. Physical, intellectual, emotional, social and communication skills are developed through play, which is the natural instinctive mechanism by which children develop their abilities, explore creativity and learn about themselves, others and the world.
Lambeth has 12 adventure playgrounds and many parks and green spaces.
