Revitalise Peckham Rye Park and Common
Peckham Rye Park is a historic grade 2 listed park and sits alongside Peckham Common. Revitalise Peckham Rye is an exciting project to provide purpose built facilities which support the park use.
The vision for the project is:
- to design and build the best play area in Southwark by the café, offering a range of exciting play opportunities, drawing on best practice from across London
- create a flexible and sustainable children’s playroom, alongside other managed play facilities for maximum efficiency, and in order to present a diverse offer for children and families within a beautiful park setting
- to design and build flexible changing facilities, which support the use of the park
The project is managed by our regeneration team, who work alongside Parks and Open Spaces, Youth Services and the Play Service. The project is funded by Olympic Legacy and Council Capital funding.
Following planning permission being granted in January 2017, construction work started in May 2017. The specific programme for each area are as follows:
