About Park

    A  public park within the Alexandra & Ainsworth housing estate in South Hampstead

    The main area of landscape planting bisects the centre of the estate offering park-like views for the overlooking terraces on either side. A raised walkway runs along the southern side of this strip, canopied and hedged by trees and bushes in some areas, or zigzags between the separate divisions creating a maze-like effect and offering multiple views over the component parts of the estate and access routes to each separate area. The many different sections of this landscape were designed as 'rooms' or spaces, each delineated and separated from the other by its own screen of planting. At its eastern end the walkway overlooks two small playgrounds at ground level designed for younger children, and then leads on to a small open sloping grassy glade screened by trees, with bench seating, and a small copse of ornamental trees at its south eastern corner. The next division to the west is a more gently sloping island of short grass and trees set at a lower level, parallel with adjacent ground floor terraces on its northern side and providing them with a landscape setting and outlook. The walkway then leads to a highly complex area of two small separate but interlocking adventure playgrounds with built in equipment, screened from the adjacent terraces by thick planting, and leading on to a small circular grassy amphitheatre with a tiny 'stage' platform at the entry point on its eastern side. At its western end the landscaped area terminates in a fenced tarmac rectangular playground sited at ground level, with a small adventure play area set on the raised bank on its northern side, and a play centre building beyond partially set into a landscaped bank which gives access onto the building's flat roof on two levels, designed as a further extension of playing area.
