A community led design for this neighbourhood park will be the centre piece of this estate regeneration scheme. Outerspace initially designed an imaginative but robust layout for the linear park which connects an active piazza space to a woodland area at the far end of the development.
Within this layout we created a series of sub-gardens for which we held intensive and interactive workshops with the local residents of all age groups to establish a brief for each.
Thus the overall strategy for the role and character of the park and sub spaces, together with a detailed wish list of play equipment was established by the very people that will use the park once completed. It is their park, Outerspace have just enabled their vision.
