Support the park
Help us to support over 22,000 children each year!
The Adventure Playground is funded by North Tyneside Council with Shiremoor Adventure Playground Trust supporting the park to find the additional money for maintenance, activities and new equipment through fundraising.
How can you support the park?
The best way to support us is by visiting, having fun and making friends! Spread the word and let family and friends know about your experiences and our future events.
We would love to hear about what you enjoy the most about the park and what you'd like to see in the future. Contact us to let us know more.
Volunteering
There are a limited number of Volunteer opportunities through the year, depending on your area of interest. Contact us to let us know what you can offer or to find out whether we have any openings. All volunteers are subject to interview and enhanced DBS background check.
Fundraising
If you would like to fundraise for the park, you can do so via Amazon.Smile. Simply go to smile.amazon.co.uk then login using your usual Amazon account details (if you have them) and under 'Shopping Programmes', select the option to 'Change your Charity'. Search for Shiremoor Adventure Playground and click 'Select'! A small donation from Amazon will be sent to us for every purchase you make - at no additional cost to you.
