Croydon Parklife is a partnership between Croydon Council and the Football Association, Sport England and the Premier League, delivered through the Football Foundation.

The key principle of Parklife is to deliver a sustainable offer through a mix of artificial turf pitches and grass pitches with a strong ancillary offer, including in this case changing rooms, a café, community multi-purpose space, a small community gym and a playground.

The bold building design is welcoming and works in tandem with the landscape proposal.
