We are working with Southwark Council to consult with local people in Peckham about the proposed changes to Peckham Rye Park & Common.
The proposals are to:
- Build a new One O'Clock Club (now known as a play room) next to the adventure playground
- Build brand new changing rooms near to the football pitches
- Remove the existing playroom building and changing room containers to make way for a fantastic new open access play area for local children
Fun Day Friday!
Come down to the Adventure Playground FUN DAY this Friday between 12pm and 4pm to discuss the plans with the project team and to share your views.
Make a tile, take a tile!
Local artist Sally Crowley will be making clay tiles with children, using natural objects found in the park.
More details and a press release from Southwark Council follow below.

Final stage of £2m Peckham kid's club re-vamp gets go ahead with council cash boost
Published 19 March 2014
Plans to revamp a popular children's play room on Peckham Rye are set to move forward after Southwark council agreed to invest almost a million pounds into the on going project.
The current play room is housed in an old prisoner of war hut on Peckham Rye Common. The building is on its last legs and discussions to replace it have been going on for some time, along with the need to improve nearby sports facilities and changing rooms in the park.
Earlier funding had been secured through the Cleaner Greener Safer (CGS) fund, but not enough to cover complete the project. However, the project is now being given a cash boost of £995,000, announced as part of Southwark Council's capital refresh at this week's Cabinet meeting.
With the original CGS funding, plus previously secured money from Olympic Legacy funding among others, the total investment in the project will be around £2m.
The project will:
- Build a new One O'Clock Club (now known as a play room) next to the adventure playground
- Build brand new changing rooms near to the football pitches
- Remove the existing playroom building and changing room containers to make way for a fantastic new open access play area for local children
Cllr Dora Dixon Fyle , cabinet member for children's services, said: "I am so pleased that we have been able to commit real funds to this project which will provide a bigger, better, safer and much more suitable play and sports facility to the Peckham Rye community."
A planning application is expected to be submitted in Autumn this year and the project is scheduled to be completed by Spring 2016.
