Beckton Meadows

The Green and Resilient Spaces fund was awarded to Beckton Parks in 2022, when East was appointed to develop the Beckton Parks Masterplan across a space of 36 Hectares.
Austerity had left the area stripped of most of its programmes, with city farm, ski slopes, clubhouse and sports pavilion closed and some management regimes lapsed. The question of this project was how to invigorate the park and provide a destination for residents and visitors with limited funding both for capital and ongoing maintenance.

The masterplan has emerged in partnership with a committed local community who have actively co-designed all elements through a series of engagement opportunities and workshop events over the years of 2022 and 2023. It is part of the Vision that the local community will remain involved in perpetuity, learning and benefiting from access to high-quality green spaces that evolve around environmental interest, green space management, food growing, harvesting and cooking, sports and play.
