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.
