Artist David Capra explains the process the community undertook to 'dream up their park' : “The models took the form of plasticine, paddle-pops, pipe cleaners, coloured paper and foil among other craft media, where children felt free to play with ideas….the objects included a telescope, microscope, spider webs, ponds, fountains, jumping equipment (made from a large sponge), flowerbeds, bridges and climbing and Parkour equipment.
