superhans Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Details about the Bellenden Primary School expansion are here: http://www.bellenden.southwark.sch.uk/school-information/New-School-Development-2. They're increasing the capacity of the school from 210 to 420, which would explain the need for a greater footprint.

Saffron Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Of course a new playground would be great. I wonder if anyone knows what will become of the kids water feature in P Rye, which was installed incorrectly and never repaired. Unfortunately this means that it's completely useless. Would hate to see this same fate fall any new playground. This work needs to be well researched and contracted, so that someone is ultimately responsible for correct installation, safety and repairs. xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/59834-a-properly-brilliant-toddlerhood-defining-playground-for-east-dulwich/page/2/#findComment-852627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwater Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Dhjs - I think your idea of a multi-use community space is fantastic. I can see children from at least 3 local schools benefitting from shared facilities, plus that area is relatively lacking in large communal spaces for the community.Do you know if the land has been designated for anything yet or not?Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/59834-a-properly-brilliant-toddlerhood-defining-playground-for-east-dulwich/page/2/#findComment-903851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Aelfheah Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The playgrounds in Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye are really quite poor. It's a shame that the relatively recent investments in both were slightly squandered (Peckham's weird fenced off tap and DPs long wall with ladder).Brockwell is great, look to Clissold Park too for a good example.Splash play is fun, but obviously quite seasonal. A decent all year round playground would be my priority.

worldwiser Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 To a certain extent some of this is an adult's perspective on a child's world and children don't really care what it looks like. If it's fun it's fun. Not saying replicating Brockwell Park in PR wouldn't be absolutely fabulous, but our little one loves Goose Green. Our main objection would be the much older kids invading the climbing frames and spoiling the environment for everyone else: if they would congregate elsewhere it would be far more pleasant for the intended age group. An interim approach might be to try and do something about that while we wait 20 years for the dream playground to materialise.

Angelina Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I think Brockwell Park /Lido upgrade was funded by Lottery fund. I don't know the details o fapplying for grants, but there are lots out there.

katgod Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 There are plans afoot for Peckham Rye. The One O'clock club building to be knocked down, all the playground that was so exepensive and rubbish next to it reloacted to where the car park currently is; the car park to move to the other side of Strakers Road. The team behind it were at the recent Peckham Rye Fete with a stall with deails of the consulatation etc. Sorry I don't recall the details of who - maybe the Friends of Peckham Rye would know?

alice Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 that plan can't be definite . . . mainly moving things around with no apparent benefit except to the contractors and maybe the owners of the cafe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/59834-a-properly-brilliant-toddlerhood-defining-playground-for-east-dulwich/page/2/#findComment-904713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastDulwicher Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A toddler friendly playground would be great - even better if it could be part of something bigger for multiple use. Goose Green is good but the older children take over and both of my daughters have been knocked over by older children darting around. I love the look of the photos in the original post and we would most certainly make good use of this type of space - the kids love being outside but the current provision in the parks is not adequate (two baby/toddler swings in P Rye park always results in demand outweighing provision) and it's not always practical to have to drive further afield for a quick trip to the park.

aerie Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 buggie - the Belvedere Splash Park has not been open this year and Bexley Council are closing it, moving the park opposite onto the SP site and have plans for the original park which include closure of the adjacent busy library.Reasons given are the Splash Park is too expensive to maintain as the filters are constantly blocked. A 50p entrance per adult seems to be beyond their whit. It was a wonderful facility, for even barely on their feet toddlers, and despite a petition and public meetings, I fear it is doomed. Good luck with this venture, summer - sunshine and water, wonderful Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/59834-a-properly-brilliant-toddlerhood-defining-playground-for-east-dulwich/page/2/#findComment-931535 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Aelfheah Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 They're not scrapping the skate park are they? would be great to get a proper concrete facility there, with a bowl preferably.
