• £1.2 m revamp of children’s play area and park
• New café for residents for the summer
Little Ilford Park is set for a total transformation including improved play equipment, improved outside gym equipment and walking route and a new Café, thanks to Levelling Up Funding from the Government.
Cllr Sarah Ruiz, Cabinet Member for Environment, Sustainable Transport, Children’s Services and Education said: “This is a fantastic new facility for our children and the residents of Little Ilford.
“By this summer our residents will have a fabulous new venue to go to play, socialise and keep fit, in line with our commitment to deliver a cleaner, greener and healthier borough.”
As the Council prepares to install the new facilities in the park the younger children’s play equipment will close for six weeks from this month to enable the works.
The older children’s play area will feature a fantastic new tower and slide which will be constructed by mid-March, with overhauled and improved flower beds and new cricket nets.
By the summer the park will feature:
- A new kiosk/café
- Revamped toilets (linked to the café)
- A new play area for Under -11’s
- A new play area for older children- six plus
- New and revamped gym equipment
- New seating and a pergola
