Invest in the park

The forest school (behind the playground) was a brilliant initiative and has been fantastic for local children and schools, but there is still so much more opportunity within the park.

The area around the café, bowling green and playground has huge potential to utilise existing unused green areas and create a community space but is seriously lacking in investment and imagination. For example, the design plan for the renovation of the existing playground are unimaginative (generic Wicksteed eyesore), too small in scale given usage, and does don't do the park or local community justice.

This park should be a destination for people in surrounding neighbourhoods instead of acting as a divide between Kensal Rise and Harlesden. Currently people in Harlesden drive to visit Queens Park, and that should not be the case. The recent £85k council spend on Bramshill Park shows what a difference investing in existing spaces can make to a neighbourhood.
