Baltic Street Adventure Playground

20/07/2026

Baltic Street Adventure Nursery is now open for enrolment for 2026-27! 🤸‍♀️

We are the East End's first fully outdoor nursery and we pride ourselves on building kind, independent, resilient and happy children.

Spaces are available for children aged 3 to 5 years old. Spaces can be split between Baltic Street Adventure Nursery and your child's current indoor nursery meaning your child can have as much of an outdoor education as you desire.

Glasgow City Council funded places are available.

During term time the nursery is open Monday to Friday from 9am until 3pm.

Interested? Contact [email protected] for more information, organising a visit and getting your child registered.

Hello! We have had a bunch of new followers recently so we thought it was about time we introduced ourselves again! We are Baltic Street Adventure Playground, a child-led adventure playground in the East End of Glasgow dedicated to fun, mucky, risky play!

We opened in 2013 as a community response to the Commonwealth Games and since then we have grown into one of the main community assets in the area. We provide a secure, supervised play space for children, free food for every child when they attend, the East End's first full outdoor nursery, a community food hub, volunteering opportunities and much more!

We are a registered charity and are very lucky to have the support of some amazing funders who continuously support us to keep providing and growing the space (so much to the point we currently have a brand new building being built on site - shout out Clyde Gateway and Glasgow City Council!)

We are proud to always provide our services completely FREE OF CHARGE. We will never charge anyone a penny for accessing the space and our services as we never want cost to be a barrier to any family - no matter where you're from or what your background is.

That being said, donations are always appreciated but NEVER expected. We just want to see the space being used by children and families and see the benefits that risky play can provide for all!

Our opening times are...
TERM TIME
Tuesday - Friday: 3-6pm
Saturdays: 11am-5pm

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS (funded by Glasgow City Council Holiday Programme)
Tuesday - Saturday: 11am-5pm

NURSERY
Monday - Friday: 9am-3pm (email [email protected] if you would like information on registering your child)

FOOD HUB
Saturdays: 12-1pm for pensioners and those with mobility issues
1pm onwards (until all the food is gone!) for everyone else

We hope to see you all soon for some fun, food and free play! 🤸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

📣ROAD OPEN📣

Woohoo! The roadworks outside of the playground are now complete so you can feel free to park outside again on your next visit!

29/06/2026

📣WARNING!📣

This is what our street currently looks like 😅 there will be road works happening for the whole of this week, as a result the street is closed so if you are driving here you will need to park elsewhere! There is on street parking on the surrounding streets.

This might also be a good time for an adventure on the train or bus! Dalmarnock train station is a 5 minute walk away and there are good bus links on the nearby streets too!

📣 GROUP BOOKING INFORMATION 📣

Planning on bringing a group to play during the Summer Holidays?

If you want to bring your youth group, out of school care or similar group to the playground during the holidays you MUST prebook with us or risk being denied entry on the day!

To book, please email [email protected]. Alan will then send you a booking form which needs to be returned to us asap. Once we have received this we can then confirm your booking.

We are lowering our capacity due to the ongoing building works so if you have not booked there is an even higher chance you will be turned away.

☀️Summer time!☀️

Summer is officially here and we are ready to play! As always, entry is free, food and drinks are free and most importantly - the FUN IS FREE!

Our holiday programme will be running Tuesday - Saturday from 11am until 5pm starting on the 30th of June and ending on the 8th of August.

Individuals and families - no need to book, just turn up and play!

Official groups (e.g. youth groups, out of school care) - please email [email protected] to book your spot or risk being denied entry! We are lowering our capacity due to the ongoing building works so if you have not booked there is an even higher chance you will be turned away.

📣 Reminder - This is Scotland - mud and rain is almost guaranteed so please ensure all children and young people are dressed appropriately for the weather (spare clothes are always handy too!) ☀️⛅️🌧🌩
