About the Project 

About the Russell Park Improvement Project 

The Russell Park Improvement Project is set to deliver refurbishments to the junior play area as part of the Noel Park Big Local.&nbsp;Noel Park Big Local was established over a decade ago with funding from the Big Lottery fund with a mission to spend &pound;1m over a period of ten years. The Big Local is a community of neighbours entrusted to use this funding to leave lasting legacy in the Noel Park Estate. In 2019 it carried out its final consultation to identify the priorities of the community. One of the main themes that arose was the need for better play facilities and green spaces. The Big Local used this mandate as the basis to drive their plans for the regeneration of Russell Park - both in terms of play equipment and biodiversity for which they earmarked over a third of their total funding, with further consultation sessions in 2022 and 2023 the scope of the project was further determined.&nbsp;With a project team of Haringey Council Parks Development, Noel Park Big Local and Matthew Halsall Design Studio assembled, the project kicked off working to deliver a refurbishment of the junior play area. The play area&rsquo;s features and landscape were co-created with feedback from the community and the Big Local steering group and designed by Matthew Halsall Design Studio.&nbsp;The play facilities will incorporate new planting schemes which place biodiversity at the heart of play. Equipment will encourage active and natural play and encourage all children to feel welcomed and safe while they enjoy the playground. The design includes raised platforms and open play spaces to encourage more girls to use the space.&nbsp;The project team are now delighted to announce, after a successful tender process, that contractors have been awarded and works will start on 22nd July 2024!&nbsp;
