South Oxford Adventure Playground

South Oxford Adventure Playground SOAP is an inclusive, staffed adventure playground for children aged 7-15. Children of all ages are welcome and those under 7 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please check our website for opening times. SOAP is a local charity run by volunteers & paid sessional staff, providing free, inclusive, supervised, adventurous outdoor play and activities. We believe all children have a right to play, regardless of background and/or ability. We provide inclusive, exciting and adventurous play for children aged 7 and over, within a supervised playground. When chil

dren under 7 attend they must be accompanied by an adult. Playworkers are onsite to support and encourage children in their play. SOAP is an open access playground, which means children 7 years and above can stay without a parent, and can leave when they wish. SOAP is supported by Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council, Parasol, and by generous donations from the community of SOAP users. SOAP is available for private party hire.

As the World Cup gets underway, a reminder that football always starts closer to home ⚽️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

These shirt were designed by the players of Hinksey Park Coyotes 🐺

More than a football shirt, it’s a record of a place and a group of players who grew up together ❤️

Through a series of team meetings with their coach, Matt, they developed a design inspired by the places that shaped their childhood 🚸

The leaf pattern references the trees of Hinksey Park. The blue is drawn from the outdoor swimming pool. And SOAP a place where they spent so many fun times together 🌳🏊🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🧼🫧
