So, out of 10, just 3 are free. Most would cost £50+ for a day out for 2 adults + 2 kids. None are adventure playgrounds in the tradition of a space designed for child-led play, risk, self-built structures, diverse affordances, staffed with skilled playworkers, no entrance fee, etc. archive.is/6PSM7
