Period

2003 - 2006

The revitalisation of this 20ha park has made a significant contribution to the regeneration of the surrounding urban district. CBA prepared a successful Stage 2 HLF application for funding and prepared a Masterplan and design to improve the character and identity of the park. This included reintroduction of lost elements and features, enhanced biodiversity, integration of new recreation and amenity facilities, improved access and interpretation and a programme to increase the standard and quality of maintenance and management across the park. The park enhancement has provided a better and tangible link with the wider community as well as achieving a broad base of community and stakeholder support. The project included works to the lake, water course, ornamental gardens, railings and seating, bowling pavilion, new café, play areas, main entrances, pathways and signage/interpretation and planting to increase biodiversity.

The implementation of the works was overseen by CBA and the scheme was completed successfully on time and within budget. Ongoing improved management of the park by the London Borough of Southwark and an innovative park ranger scheme has encouraged local ownership and has ensured that the restoration scheme has been extremely successful. The Park was awarded a Green Flag in 2006.
