The park opening event
On Thursday 3rd of September 2015 residents together with the Mayor of Camden officially reopened the newly restored park.
Residents, Camden officials, local youth clubs, representatives of the Big Lottery Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund, members of the Alexandra and Ainsworth regeneration project team, Janet Jack the landscape architect behind the original design of the A&A park and Neave Brown the architect of the A&A estate, all attended the opening event.
Celebrations included speeches from our residents, as well as an interesting speech about the Heritage Lottery fund from Blondel Cluff, chair of HLF London and an inspiring speech from our Mayor who then cut the ribbon with special ceremonial scissors!
Celebrations continued with music and songs by young, as well as very young, residents and youth groups, delicious food and refreshments, healthy ‘urban smoothies’, face painting, balloon modelling and of course enjoying the beautifully restored park spaces…
….and the Alexandra Road Park inspired delicious cakes
