Redeveloping Toffee Park and Radnor Street Gardens

Welcome to the second public consultation on the future of Toffee Park and Radnor Street Gardens. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to provide their thoughts and feedback at the first public consultation in summer 2023.

The first public consultation was paused as the comments raised during the public event led the council to believe that further communication was necessary to provide the local community with all the information relating to why it has been decided to close the nursery at Toffee Park and what other options and support have been made available to parents.

The project has since progressed and we are now pleased to present our detailed design proposals.

We would like to hear your thoughts on our proposals ahead of submitting the planning application.

Our proposals

Our proposals for Toffee Park and Radnor Street Gardens will include:

- a new Islington South Family Hub to offer support for local families with children of ages 0-19 (and up to 25 for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). The existing building will be fully refurbished, with extensions added to maximise the internal space.

- a revitalised Toffee Park Adventure Playground, with new inside space merged under one roof with the new Family Hub. The existing Adventure Playground cabin will be removed, freeing up space for external play.

- a refurbished multi-use games area, which will be resurfaced and will allow better public use and access

- a new skatepark in Radnor Street Gardens which will accommodate scooters, BMX riders, skateboarders, rollerbladers, and WCMX (wheelchair users)
