What is this place?
ELHAP is a specialist disability play charity in Woodford Bridge, running a large woodland adventure playground for children and young people with disabilities and additional needs — not an ordinary public drop-in attraction. Most of its services (holiday playschemes, Saturday clubs, the Bridge alternative-provision project) are accessed through local-authority funding, direct payments or a school/social-worker referral. The one route a family can book directly is its ‘Stay & Play’ scheme, where a parent or grandparent registers in advance, books a place and pays around £20 per family per day (a limited number of dates each quarter). Physical-access details such as accessible or Changing Places toilets, a hoist and parking aren't published on authoritative sources, so are shown as not confirmed — please check directly with ELHAP.
