Completion Date: December 2005
Commissioned by: Groundwork Wirral
Budget: £9,000.00
Location: Westminster Park, Ellesmere Port, Wirral.

The Commission: To create a bespoke sports are seating and viewing shelter to seat approximately ten young people. The structure was required to give shelter from the prevailing wind whilst being sufficiently open to allow those inside the shelter to see out and to prevent anyone from using the
shelter to hide and attack others. It reflects the town's marine history and respects the criteria put forward by local young people during consultation carried out by Groundwork Wirral.

Special about this project: Monkey Business subcontracted Paul Wigley of PDW to collaborate with them and carry the design detailing for this project.
