When: Wednesday 23 August, 3.30–5PM
Where: Ronald Street Playground, NG7 3GY

Join us for the official launch of Ronald Street Playground, that has been redeveloped by Nottingham City Council and supported by a £100,000 grant from FCC Communities Foundation.

We will also be unveiling the Build Create Play public artwork – commissioned by Primary and Nottingham City Council as part of the playground redevelopment. The artwork has been designed and produced by artist Ismail Khokon through a series of creative workshops with local children – exploring what play means to them and the materials, shapes and colours that spark their imaginations. Artist Charlotte Tupper and playworker Ben Rodgers have co-developed the project with Ismail and the young people.

Alongside the artwork on the playground, we will also be launching a new set of Build Create Play banners on Primary’s Facade.

Join us for an official ribbon cutting to open the playground and launch the artwork, followed by drinks, snacks and games on the playground!

All welcome, children must be accompanied by an adult.

This is event is hosted by Nottingham City Council and Primary. Thanks to our project partners The Toy Library and Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges, and to local families in Radford and Mellers Primary School for their ongoing involvement in the project.
