Community Parklet Scheme

Lambeth’s Community Parklet Scheme, supported by the Big Shift Community Fund, will fund 25 parklets (one in each borough ward) created and maintained by residents and community groups in partnership with the council. 

How to apply

The application window is now closed. Phase 2 will begin in the Autumn 2023. You can still apply for a parklet in the meantime, but applications will be put on a waiting list.  

1. Understand your responsibilities 

As a parklet keeper you will be responsible for keeping the parklet safe, clean and accessible at all times. Please read the document below to understand your responsibilities before applying.  

2. Speak to your neighbours 

Discuss your idea for a parklet and its benefits with your neighbours and get their support. The more support you receive, the more likely your location will be shortlisted, however, it is important to remember it is not a vote.  

3. Complete the application form
