\"Brixton's<\/p>\n

It’s great to see that one of Brixton’s lesser-known small parks is getting some of the attention and care it deserves, although some locals still have reservations about visiting the park (see comments below) .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Brixton's<\/p>\n

Loughborough Park is located behind Coldharbour Lane, and is wedged between Moorland Road and Loughborough Park.<\/p>\n

\"Brixton's<\/p>\n

The park currently has an adventure playground, children’s play area (dog free), One O’clock Club and some sports facilities, but big improvements are on the way, thanks to an\u00a0initiative\u00a0between\u00a0Friends\u00a0of Loughborough Park and\u00a0Lambeth\u00a0Council.<\/p>\n

Plans include a new formal garden near the front of the park, an ‘edible hedge’ containing blackcurrant, gooseberry and raspberry\u00a0bushes, plus hazel, plum and pear trees.<\/p>\n

\"Brixton's<\/p>\n

There’ll also be a community growing area at the back of the park letting locals get involved, with landscape contractors working throughout June and July to make the park improvements.<\/p>\n
