Welcome to Papa's Park

Open to all, 365 days of the year

Papa’s Park is an open access playground in the heart of Brixton, that has seen many generations of children pass through its gates. We have a range of play equipment, a separate under 5’s area and a flood-lit all-weather pitch. You can also enjoy a range of food and drink in our café or hire our hall for a birthday party or event.

Hall Hire

Our community hall is available to hire for birthday parties, workshops and meetings. We charge £30/hour with special rates for members of the park.

Papa's Cafe

Enjoy a cool drink, a cup of tea or a delicious snack at the park's cafe. Food and drink are reasonably priced and suitable for all ages.

Who We Are

The Pulross Area Play Association (PAPA) was set up in the 1990s to rescue a derelict former council-run play area and save it from developers. The group created a safe haven for children in the area and their families. This work continues today with a dedicated team of volunteers who are committed to protecting this very special community asset for future generations.
