Name your new playground and skate park at Meridian Water

A new playground and skate park is opening at Meridian Water, and Enfield Council is asking for your help to name the park. The park has been designed to be accessible and suitable for all ages with a range of activity spaces including a skate bowl, suspension bridge and bouncing mats. You can get involved by submitting your name suggestions online or at one of the drop-off locations. We want to hear from everyone of all ages and backgrounds and in particular the people of Edmonton who will benefit from this new exciting leisure space.

Residents also have a community garden, a new playground and the Lee Valley Regional Park on their doorsteps.
