Albert Street Playground

Dulwich locals with little ones already know about this one — and honestly, they’re not rushing to spread the word. The equipment is genuinely new, which makes a difference when you’ve got a two-year-old who needs something sturdy and safe. It’s fully fenced, so you can actually relax for five minutes without hovering. Everything’s kept clean and well-maintained, which isn’t something you can say about every council playground in the area. Best suited to the 2–5 crowd, so don’t expect much if you’re bringing older kids along.
