Diana Memorial Playground

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground is a memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales in Kensington Gardens, in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London. It was erected after her death at a cost of £1.7 million on the site of the existing Peter Pan children’s playground which had been founded in the time of Sir James Matthew Barrie (author of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens), but it is larger than the original. The most prominent feature of design 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. It is at the north western corner of Kensington Gardens.
