Kings Crescent Phase 3 & 4- Temporary MUGA

Overview

As you may know, Hackney Council is committed to building more homes. Kings Crescent is entering the 3rd and 4th phase of regeneration, where a further 219 homes are being built. Our main contractor, Mulalley, have begun conducting enabling works on site. As part of the site preparations and building works, the Council will need to demolish the ball-court next to Theobalds Court.

As a result, from November 2024 for the next 5 years, there will be no play facilities on the estate for young children. A brand-new multi-use games area (MUGA) will be provided in 2029 as part of the regeneration. 

Why your views matter

This survey is about gathering views from residents and stakeholders on potentially providing replacement play facilities on the estate whilst the construction work takes place. No final decision has been made regarding temporary play provision. 

The proposals include:

Option 1: Temporary Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA)

This option  would provide a smaller temporary multi-use games area on Murrain Road, primarily to cater for children and young teens who are too young to go to Clissold Park to play independently. Other locations were considered but were deemed less suitable for safety reasons.

Option 2: No temporary play provision provided.
