Beckton Parks Masterplan
Co-designing a Sustainable Future for our Green Spaces.
Newham Council are working with residents and community stakeholders to create a future vision for the Beckton Parks Masterplan area.
Watch this short video to find out more!
The area covers 2 council wards: Beckton and Custom House. It includes the largest amount of local authority managed green space in the borough and a variety of leisure and community facilities situated within Beckton District Park (North and South), New Beckton Park, Beckton Corridor, Newham City Farm Site and King George V Park:
The landscape offers enormous potential to create new and improved sports, leisure, wildlife and community led opportunities through improving existing spaces and facilities and re-purposing areas to better meet local needs.
We are planning a variety of ways for you to get involved in co-designing this exciting masterplan over the coming months. Engagement opportunities and events will be advertised throughout the project phases below.
Phases
Shaping The Vision
Between January and April 2022, Street Space are working alongside Newham Council to engage with local communities to shape the future of your green spaces.
The four month engagement programme is the first step towards the creation of the Beckton Parks Masterplan.
The thoughts, ideas and ambitions that are gathered will form the community-led vision for the future of the masterplan area. It will influence who is appointed to design the masterplan and will provide a starting point from which designs can develop.
Get involved in shaping the vision!
Street Space will be producing a number of different events, activities and collaborations with local groups to explore these green spaces from a wide range of perspectives and generate ideas for the future.
Scroll to the bottom of the page to learn about the events that you can attend to play your part in shaping the vision for the Beckton Parks Masterplan.
