Click here for winner's locationThe Clarewood Doorstep Green is a little green oasis close to St James Park Football Ground near the centre of the city. It may be relatively small green space at 0.15 hectare but it is nevertheless an exciting, yet tranquil spot. The area is sympathetically landscaped with robust planting. A low stone wall doubles as informal sealing. The local community have worked together with a landscape architect and local artists to design and create an innovative space which incorporates a floorscape mosaic, stunning metalwork sculptures, a children’s safe play area and an events space for community activities.
