Park plans exhibited!

On Wednesday the plans for Lambeth High Street Recreation Ground were exhibited at 125 Lambeth Walk.

Click on any of the photos below to see it in a larger size.

The main points of the plan are:

-create a new shallow water feature on the site of the existing disused water feature with fountains and a pump for children to play with

-move the entrance at Lambeth High Street to the corner junction with Old Paradise Street, creating a direct diagonal path across the path with better sightlines and a more obvious and welcoming entrance.

-renovate the existing play area and create a new natural play area in the north east corner

-redesign the walled garden, lowering wall and creating a growing area

-remove dense shrubs and some trees, and thin out remaining trees to improve sightlines and light

-create a boundary path around the perimeter

-new gates for the two entrances, and new wires above existing fencing for plants to be trailed along, raising the fence height to deter nighttime intruders

-excavate a route through the existing mound in the centre of the park to improve sightline from Whitgift House side to the water feature
