Community celebrates the reopening of Swiss Cottage Open Space
Residents, local organisations and Councillors recently gathered at Swiss Cottage Open Space for its official reopening by Mayor of Camden, Councillor Eddie Hanson following the completion of a first phase of improvements.
I am delighted to reopen Swiss Cottage Open Space, a much-loved location for both residents and those who visit the area.
With the summer approaching, I am excited to see our local communities and visitors taking advantage of all that Swiss Cottage Open Space has to offer.
The park has now benefited from Camden Council’s ongoing Green Space Improvement Programme.
It’s important we make all our parks in Camden as welcoming, green and biodiverse as possible.
We listened to residents’ ideas which has seen new planted terraces and mounds of meadow grass, ‘rain gardens’ that help retain water and improve biodiversity, and an improved toddler play area with new play equipment, seating and planting.
At the opening event a range of fun, free events were on offer including free DIY smoothie bikes smoothies and yoga taster sessions on the new lawn area.
This is the start of a larger plan of investment at Swiss Cottage open space, over the next few years local people can expect to see an additional play for older children, chess and table tennis equipment, a new outdoor gym area, skating plaza (behind the Leisure Centre) and greening improvements to Eton Avenue Market.
