About the Thames Park improvements project

After two years of public engagement with park users and neighbours, a design was developed that includes upgrading the playground, adding a splash pad, constructing new pickleball courts, and several other enhancements. The City wishes to extend thanks to everyone who participated during the public engagement.  

The City is excited to begin constructing the next chapter of Thames Park and the new features that will be used by Londoners and families for years to come.
