Valence Park

Funded by the GLA and the London Marathon Trust, Street Space were commissioned to work closely with local residents to collaboratively design and deliver a programme of ‘activation’ events to increase the level of social and physical activity in Valence Park. We engaged with over 300 local residents over a six month programme through taster activities including basketball, walking, learn to ride, treasure hunts and park photography. 
Through listening and working closely with local people and existing park volunteers Street Space developed a series of ‘micro experiments’ to attract and bring new audiences to Valence Park. ‘All Roads Lead to Valence Park’ identified and tested opportunities for new, playful wayfinding to draw people’s attention to the Park and encourage new visitors.
