We are a group of local parents called who came together in 2013 to form the Lakes Playground Action Group. Our aim is to proactively raise funds to regenerate the much loved children’s playground at South Norwood Lake.
Serving the local Crystal Palace and South Norwood communities, the Lake and Grounds is a beautiful park which features the only expanse of open water in Croydon, holds the prestigious Blue Flag status and houses recreational activities including sailing, tennis and bowls. The children’s playground is well-used and enjoyed but sadly hasn’t been invested in for years, with some equipment now out of service and the rest looking tired and in need of updating or replacing.
Our ambition is to create a fresh, imaginative and inviting space for children to enjoy for many years to come. We have consulted with the local community in order to create a design for a new playground which is inclusive, innovative and captures the imagination of children of all ages.
