Ealing Council is inviting residents to take part in its latest consultation for the borough and is asking locals to share their opinions on the council’s plans to create a new regional park.
The plans suggest a park of eight kilometres in size which follows the River Brent from Horsenden Hill located in the north of the borough through to Warren Farm located in the south.
The consultation, which opened on 10 March 2025, closes 6 April 2025. Residents can access and comment on the proposed new regional park by clicking here.
The design concept for the park was developed by architects Prior and Partners who helped to create the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London for for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Councillor Blerina Hashani, Ealing Council’s cabinet member for thriving communities, said: “We want the regional park to be more than a day out and offer something for lovers of nature, culture and play.”
Councillor Hashani added: “The concept plan includes exciting ideas ranging from a sports hub at Warren Farm, cycle trails and yoga to play areas and an amphitheatre for cultural events. But we want to hear your views on the regional park and the concept plan.”
Leader of the council, Councillor Peter Mason added: “The regional park could transform the health and wellbeing of people across west London for generations to come. It will act as a green lung for London and tackle the impact of climate change by improving air quality, protecting the borough from flooding and providing habitat for wildlife.”
When plans for a new regional park were previously announced, concerns were raised by locals and campaign groups across the borough over its location and how Ealing’s flood defences could be impacted
The Brent River & Canal Society has previously voiced its concerns and told the council not to build on the Brent flood plan.
Steven Toft, trustee for Brent River & Canal Society previously told EALING.NEWS: “The Brent River & Canal Society is in favour of a regional park in principle, with the caveat that nothing should be built on the Brent flood plain as this would increase the risk of flooding. The Brent River Park is a critical component of Ealing’s flood defences.”
