Daniel Chapman of LDA Design says:: “We are trying to design a place that encourages visitors to come and enjoy the recreation ground. We want to create a series of experiences, spaces and landscapes which we hope will become a community hub, a reflective area and a bio-diverse space - hopefully something for everyone.”	Top design team appointed to prepare Heritage Lottery Fund bid to regenerate our local park LDA Design, whose recent work includes Clissold and Victoria Parks, were appointed by St Paul’s Church in May to prepare the main application to The Heritage Lottery Fund for a grant of over £600,000 to regenerate West Hackney Recreation Ground and the surrounds of St Paul’s Church.
