There are almost 100 play areas in Portsmouth with activities for children of all ages and abilities, including six adventure playgrounds which are supervised. Every home in the city is within half a mile (or a 15-minute walk) of a play area.

Some larger sites have extra activities, including sand pits, ball games areas, BMX tracks and skate parks. View the map of all city play areas. For water-based play, find locations and contact details for swimming pools, splash pools and watersports.
