Kings Crescent Estate: Play Facilities Survey

Overview

Hackney Council is looking to understand residents' thoughts on play facilities on the Kings Crescent estate. 

Following the engagement that took place in November 2024, we decided to appoint a play consultant to help us consider the way play space is managed on the estate, and to develop new proposals and designs.

To ensure children and families retain safe space to play during the construction phase of the Kings Crescent estate regeneration, Hackney Council are collaborating with muf architecture/art to propose a temporary Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) on Queens Drive.

Our intention is to create an inclusive space while remaining deeply mindful of our residents, addressing concerns they may have around noise, safety and anti-social behaviour.

This is a temporary installation designed to be easily removed in the future, and will be actively managed rather than left unmonitored. We want to hear your thoughts to help shape the design and management approach.
