Friends of Ruskin Park call for investment into park

Lambeth Council is currently consulting on possible investment in Ruskin Park. This will inform decisions to invest in the park. The Friends of Ruskin Park are calling out for everyone who uses the park to please respond to support the proposed investment of £750,000 in their Stable Block project to convert the block into a cafe and community resource/meeting space. This project could lead to further improvements such as investments in sports facilities.

View the consultation.

The deadline for comments is 31 October.

Reasons that the Friends hope that you will support the project are:

• because this project will increase use of the park, therefore improving health and wellbeing
• the conversion will also potentially provide an income stream for the park to support further improvements
• it will provide facilities for youth clubs and many different social and community activities, which are lacking in the area
• because Ruskin Park has not received the level of funds that other large parks in the area have received, so that investment is overdue.
