Frog Marsh is a pedestrian space outside Bannerman Road Community Academy designed in collaboration with students, parents, teachers at Bannerman Community School in Bristol.
Developed through workshops, storytelling, and temporary road closures, the project transformed a busy junction affected by speeding and unsafe parking into a safer, community-focused public space.
Commissioned by the Friends of Bannerman Road and supported by Bristol City Council, the design introduced playful interventions, colourful surfaces, seating, a public stage, and a “museum of bollards.”
Named after the area’s historic title, Frog Marsh promotes safety, social interaction, and community identity through ongoing public events, celebrations, and outdoor activities.
