Canterbury Square, Brixton introduces playful streetscape features created following Pop Up Parks co-design events.
|
Working with the LB Lambeth's highways team to co-design permanent play spaces for a new public square outside Brixton police station.
|
|
With Pop Up Parks we delivered regular pop-up play days on the site over a month and with an increasingly regular group of families we discussed, tested and developed a simple and robust scheme.
|
|
|
The intervention formed a circuit of creative, incidental play for younger and older children alike, while also adding interest and a strong sense of place for everyone who passes by and stops their.
|
|
This included locating new trees and benches and producing a set of natural stepping stones from reclaimed timber studded with small mirrors, as well as large painted boulders for climbing.

|
The project sees the streetscape populated by unusual objects designed to appeal to young children and each with a range of creative play possibilities.
