A new regional park for Ealing consultation is open for feedback.
This new park will be 8 kilometers of linked green spaces in Ealing. Ealing Council wants your views and is inviting responses to the consultation here. Have your say before the deadline of 6 April 2025.
What is the regional park?
The regional park will be a large green space connecting some of the boroughs existing parkland, like Perivale Park, Horsenden Hill, Churchfields, and Warren Farm. The green space created will expand to form an accessible and lively natural network offering opportunities for nature conservation, leisure, sports, and community activities.
Pear Tree Park was opened in August 2024. This will eventually form part of the proposed regional park. Pear Tree Park is about the size of 30 football pitches and on a previously existing 9 hole golf course. It nestles beside Perivale Park is part of the Brent River Park area. Tree planting activities have been taking place in the park, to introduce native species of plants, climate-resilient trees and flowers. Future work will include introducing wetlands to help deal with flash flooding, providing space for wildlife and encouraging more biodiversity. The park will also include a small pear orchard that will be planted in 2025, in reference to its name and history.
