A programme of art, culture and new infrastructure to reimagine the future of the UK’s biggest council housing estate
As part of the new playground designed by artist Yinka Ilori for Parsloes Park, which will feature a vibrant basketball court, Create London ran a competition for school children to design a new basketball.
Congratulations to the basketball design winner Eve Ellis!
Yinka Ilori has selected Eve's design to be made in a brand new basketball, to celebrate the launch of his new playground in Parsloes Park this centenary year. Eve will receive 5 basketballs with her design when it's ready in October.
There were many impressive designs and entries for the competition. Yinka Ilori also picked runners up who showed a range of design and colour techniques. They will each receive a basketball with Eve's design. To view all the runners up designs click here.
