SPORTS & PLAY
Play is key in the development of children on every level and Jubilee Gardens plays a major role in this within central London and is a project we are extremely proud to be involved with .”
“ Sustainable management of the Jubilee Gardens refurbishment was considered during the design process . We identified where we could re-use timbers from the playground to ensure as little waste as possible and we have also re-used safety surfacing where possible making only repairs around the new play pieces ”
Jubilee Gardens next to the London Eye were created in 1977 for the Queen ’ s Silver Jubilee . They were relandscaped in 2012 for the Diamond Jubilee and visited by The Queen in that Jubilee year . The playground reopens in time for the 2022 Jubilee Gardens to celebrate its 10th anniversary and for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations .
