Wingfield Park is situated near Central Baptist Church and Vestry House in Walthamstow Village. The park offers a variety of play facilities for children and pockets of recreation.
In 2012, a unique Chinese dragon wood-carved sculpture by artist Will Lee was installed as part of ‘London Play's’ initiative. In 2014 there was some improvements to the junior play equipment including the installation of a new slide.
Waltham Forest Council is investing £100,000 from Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) to make new improvements to the park. This is not a large enough amount to make big changes, such as brand new park with all new play equipment, water features, sand pits or refurbishing/removing the pavilion building. However, it is enough to make noticeable changes to improve the look and feel of the park, and overall experience for residents and visitors.
The climbable Chinese dragon sculpture is also in state of disrepair due to wood-rot, and poses a health and safety risk. This will need to be removed as part of the works. Unfortunately, a new sculpture would use a significant chunk of the budget, and therefore we will not replace it at this time in order to prioritise spending on what is needed most. However, this is a perfect opportunity to reimagine how else we can use this space and welcome your suggestions.
