Active Meadowlands
Coventry Council obtained funding from the Football Foundation Sport to turn an under-used public space with anti-social behaviour problems into a community sports facility.
The site is long and narrow and so the challenge was to accommodate the ball courts, whilst at the same time creating a friendly and legible space.
The design solution was to angle the ball-courts so they could share a terraced viewing area, and to arrange the activities so the noisier activities were at one end of the park, and the quieter uses at the other end.
I was the project lead from inception to producing the initial designs when the project was put on hold.
In recent years the project has been constructed, and has gained national recognition. For example the Sports Development Manager has won the BBC Power of Sport Award
