Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground is a memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales in Kensington Gardens, London.

It was erected after her death at a cost of £1.7 million[1] on the site of an existing children's playground but it is larger and more elaborate than the original. Its most prominent feature is a full scale wooden pirate ship which serves as a climbing area for children, and is surrounded by sand in which they can play. Other features include slides, swings, and an area designed for those with disabilities, including fragrant plants and sound features (for those with visual disabilities).

It is at the north western corner of Kensington Gardens, in sight of the Princess's former residence at Kensington Palace. It is adjacent to the Broad Walk of Kensington Gardens.
