Park transformation is a giant piece of work

St. Mary Frobisher Park is now able to boast over £100,000 of council funded improvement works, including a large sculpture of a sleeping giant right in the centre of the park.

Until recently the park had been overgrown and unwelcoming.

Now Southwark Council, with help from design firm Planet Earth Ltd, has opened up the park, offering local people enjoyment of a beautiful pocket of green space covered in sycamore trees.

Work done:

• construction of several unique play opportunities including a large bespoke climbing frame, inclusive swing and other opportunities for creative and imaginary play within nature
• creation of the Peckham Giant and sculptural benches by artist Friedel Buecking
• creation of a blue river channel featuring mosaic artworks co-created by local children and community arts group Art4space
• building a space for growing herbs in raised planters.
