Where to Go… to Find Pirate Play Areas
Whether it’s plundering treasure, skippering ships, climbing the rigging or simply running around shouting, “Aaaaarrrrrr!” in your loudest pirate voice, there is nothing quite like a pirate ship play area to stir the imagination.
These are our favourites.

Like a scene from Peter Pan, this play area has a pirate shipwreck with a grinning crocodile lurking nearby. You can almost hear the tick-tock…
Join a Pirate Crew at California Country Park, Finchampstead
A pirate ship has run aground at California Country Park! Its crew – a parrot, an owl and an octopus wearing a Jolly Roger eyepatch – guard the decks but haven’t noticed that rocks have torn a hole in the hull, revealing the treasure they’ve stashed inside.
Scale a Shipwreck at Mudeford Quay Play Area, Christchurch
This ship wreck is moored at Mudeford Quay‘s beach-side adventure play area. It’s perfect for some pirate play followed by relaxing on the beach, riding the ferry or trying your luck at crabbing.
Skipper Ships at The Look Out Play Area, Bracknell
With ships to skipper, a fort to storm and a train to drive, the adventure play area at The Look Out Discovery Centre is exceptional. Children can run around playing pirates for hours.
Capture the Pirate Ship at Moor Road, Farnborough
