Newington Gardens Playground Improvements

Southwark Council has secured funding to improve Newington Gardens Playground, and we would like to hear your views.

The project will include resurfacing and refurbishing the play area, installing at least one piece of inclusive play equipment, and enhancing accessibility to create a more inclusive space for all.

We have now received a proposed design, which can be viewed below and would greatly value your feedback.

We have now received a design from our suppliers and would really appreciate your feedback.

The design has been developed following the initial public consultation, taking into account what local families said they wanted and what matters most to them.

Key features of the proposal include:

  • Additional planting will be introduced to enhance the natural environment
  • No existing trees will be removed
  • Play equipment currently located next to Trinity, Bath and Devonshire House will be removed, with the area reinstated to grass
  • The main playground will be relocated next to the existing fenced play area behind the Crown Court

Your input will help ensure the playground is well-suited to residents and remains enjoyable for many years to come.
