Exciting News: Work on the Finsbury Park Churchtown Playground Begins This Week!

As your local councillor, I’m thrilled to announce that construction on the new Finsbury Park Churchtown Playground will officially begin this week! This long-awaited project is set to transform our local park into a vibrant, inclusive space for children and families to enjoy, and I’m delighted to share that the playground is expected to open just in time for Christmas.

What to Expect During Construction

Over the next few weeks, you’ll see plenty of activity in the park as construction gets underway. The builders will be hard at work installing state-of-the-art play equipment, upgrading access routes, and making improvements to the park’s seating and landscaping. While we will be mindful to keep any disruptions to a minimum, parts of the park near the construction area may be temporarily fenced off to ensure everyone’s safety.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and understanding during this period of work. The end result will be well worth the wait!

Opening Just in Time for Christmas

We are delighted to confirm that the playground is on track to open in December. This means that families and children will be able to enjoy this fantastic new space over the Christmas holidays. What better gift for the community than a brand-new playground where children can run, play, and explore?

The playground will be a wonderful addition to Churchtown, offering a safe, inclusive space that encourages creative and physical play for children of all ages. From imaginative play zones to areas designed for toddlers and older kids, this playground has been designed with our local families in mind.

Looking Ahead

As construction begins, I will keep you updated on the progress and any key developments along the way. We’re so excited to see this project come to life, and I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting this new addition to Finsbury Park.

Once the playground is completed and open, we’ll be organising an official opening event to celebrate this wonderful new amenity for our community. I’ll share more details about that closer to the time, but for now, I want to thank everyone who has been involved in bringing this project to fruition—from the designers to the community members who shared their input during consultations.


This is a major step forward for our community, and I’m so pleased to be able to share this news with you. Together, we are creating a space that will benefit families for years to come. I can’t wait to see you all enjoying the new playground over the festive season!
