The Council Playground at Southwark Mint Street is a striking example of how thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship can transform an urban space into a vibrant hub for children and the wider community.
Designed and constructed by Robert Sergent-Fairley, this £130,000 project was completed in just one month, demonstrating both efficiency and a high level of professional coordination.
Quote from Council
“The transformation of Mint Street Playground has been remarkable. In just a short space of time, it has become a vibrant, safe and inspiring environment where children can play, explore and grow in confidence every day.”
Set within a busy inner-city environment, the playground has been carefully planned to maximise both play value and safety. The design incorporates a range of engaging features that encourage physical activity, imaginative play, and social interaction among children of all ages.
Natural materials and durable construction methods ensure the space is not only visually appealing but also built to withstand heavy daily use.
In Brief

A key focus of the project was to create an inclusive and stimulating environment.
