The Structure
Larkhall Park
The Structure is a new youth space in Larkhall Park that was selected, shaped and built by young people as part of our 2024 public spaces Open Call.
The Build Up Open Call is an annual opportunity for young people, parents, local residents, community groups and councils to nominate projects for Build Up to work on. Each year its themes are set by our Youth Advisory Board, who then review potential projects and select those to take forward.
The Structure is a space for young people to feel safe, connected, and at home. It consists of a shelter, climbing wall, a climbable roof, vertical and horizontal lounging nets and benches. Designed for both safety and privacy, the structures offer elevated views of the park and create natural hang out spots.
In total 130 young people took part in the project, working alongside Oasis Play, London Borough of Lambeth and Friends of Larkhall Park.
