AREA have been commissioned by the Friends of North Lodge Park to design renewed opportunities of play and recreation on the Upper Lawn of North Lodge Park Cromer within a conceptual plan for the sustainable regneration of the whole park.

The Project
Our proposals for a new 'playful connection' in Cromer make a neglected corner of beautiful North Lodge Park fully accessible from the wider park, town and seafront.
The Zig Zag is a route but also a destination; a look out with portholes, a telescope and bench seating, and incorporates climbing and sliding for small children, a netty hammock for lolling around on and a den space beneath.
Upper Lawn, once a colourfully planted putting green and now a slightly bleak area of close-mown grass will become a free play space, with fun playful elements and seating dotted amongst meadow grass and planted beds. The aim is to encourage people of all ages and abilities to get more out of this lovely greenspace above the beach, with its fantastic views out to sea and to the picturesque historic centre of Cromer. Also, there are very, very good cakes and coffee in the community-run cafe!
