About
Spacemakers Project
What was it?
In 2002 to 2004, Spacemakers Project ran and was based in the Hartcliffe area of Bristol. It is a park that was the result of a youth project in Bristol by project manager Mark Rooney (with help of youth workers, Withywood Community School) and teenagers aged between 13 and 16.
What is it now?
Fast forward to June 2022 - Almost 18 years since Spacemaker opening day, one of the original Spacemakers young people (who was then 33) was taking his two children to Spacemakers Park on a regular basis.
Shane Richardson, 33, said that "taking my children to the park was meant to be a proud moment, however both my children (who are 6 & 8 years old) were saying it wasn’t very tidy. There was always too much litter, and the grass was too long. They loved the slide though."

Dubbed the biggest lone slide in Bristol when it was built. They asked why him why can’t he just sort it! Shane then started taking photos, made a Facebook and Instagram page – and made some puns which got a lot of attention. Some posts amassing just short of 5,000 impressions on Facebook. Check out our Facebook & Instagram pages for some PUNderful content.
Shane has managed to speak to some hugely important and influential individuals and started a local group (which included a range of resisdents, counsellors, council workers and individuals representing other organisations) to work on finding funds to help develop the local area.
This was so successful that Shane was nominated for a Lord Mayors award. He was successful and attending a presentation at the Lord Mayors Mansion in Clifton in April 2023.
The future
The project now comprises of various members, all with a common goal of finding funding streams to try
and get Spacemakers Project back to its former glory.
