Your Gipsy Hill

Norwood Park has topped the poll in a Lambeth-wide vote to win an extra £75,000 for the water play project in Norwood Park.  When we asked residents to give their support we knew they would rally round and were delighted by the magnificent response.

The existing paddling pool had fallen into a state of disrepair after years of neglect, but after a lot of hard work by the Friends of Norwood Park a grand total of £225,000 has now been secured from different funding sources to create a children’s water play area closer to the children’s playground on Salter Hill.

This latest victory means that a play area and other facilities can be developed for children of all ages and abilities, without cutting any corners.  The architects are taking on board the views of residents at the open day held of over the summer.  We will be pushing for the final design to blend in with the park and reflect the needs of local families.

We will continue to keep residents informed of developments and post any future news on this site.
