Lambeth Council has completed improvement works at two playgrounds in the borough, with upgrades delivered at both Norwood Park in West Norwood and Max Roach Park in Brixton as part of its wider programme of investment in parks and green spaces.

At Max Roach Park, £39,990 of works included a full refresh of the playground with three new pieces of equipment for children aged four to seven: a multi-use climber, a hop-and-climb structure and a new set of swings.

The £62,348 refurbishment at Norwood Park included the installation of a new multi-use play structure for children aged seven to 12, the refurbishment of existing equipment and the replacement of the hammock swing. According to the council, the works were shaped by local community input, including contributions from Friends of Norwood Park.

Commenting on the improvements, Cllr Donatus Anyanwu, Cabinet Member for Stronger Communities, said the upgrades at both sites demonstrated the council’s commitment to investing in play spaces for children across Lambeth. He added that such spaces support children’s development and provide opportunities for families to spend time together.

The refurbishments form part of Lambeth Council’s ongoing programme to modernise and improve parks and green spaces across the borough.
