Community voices shaping a new kind of park in East London
At the launch of The Listening Project report, we spoke with volunteers and directors from East London Waterworks Park about what four years of paid listening taught them, and how co-design can turn a fenced concrete depot into a free, biodiverse park with natural swimming, learning spaces, and a genuine sense of welcome for everyone.
In this episode you will hear
- Why ELWP put inclusivity at the heart of the project, and what they learned from 100+ participants across 19 community groups
- Practical design ideas that make people feel safe and included, from friendly wardens to clean accessible loos, quiet spaces, and end-to-end access
- How cultural relationships with nature shape comfort with wildness and swimming, and how to introduce blue space well
- Consent-based governance, inclusive volunteering, and how charities can use these findings in their own work
