The consultation period for Lammas Park Parkour proposal ran for 4 weeks ending on 9 March 2018.

The consultation

As part of Ealing Council’s investment to improve facilities for young people, we were seeking the views of residents and park users on a proposal to build a new Parkour facility within Lammas Park.

Parkour is a sporting discipline where participants seek to move quickly through an area climbing obstacles and leaping across open spaces in a fluid graceful manor. The Parkour facility would be designed so that it fits into the park visually, utilising a range of natural materials such as wood and stone which will blend the area into the park. The approach taken to designing the Parkour area will be integrate the facility into the community, to provide a safer environment for users and to encourage spectators to enjoy watching the skills and dedication on display. This helps to foster understanding and mutual respect with the aim to break down barriers between Parkour users / park users / young people and the wider community.

What you said

2545 leaflets were sent out together with posters put up advertising the consultation onsite at key points around the park. Social media was also used to advertise the consultation with online channels used including twitter, Facebook and a press release.

There was overall a good deal of support for these improvements with over 476 people responding to the consultation. Based on the responses recieved 73.3% agree with the proposal to intorduce a Parkour area within Lammas Park, with overall support in both nearby roads as well as those in the surroudning area. A report with the full results is now available.

What happens next?

It is now recommended that the project goes forward to detailed design stage which will involve talking with Parkour users and specialists to develop a high quality Parkour design which is sympathetic to Lammas Park. Once that design is complete another consultation will be run as to the appropriate way forward for delivering the project.
