New sandpits and benches.

In these posts in the past I have often referred to the two general areas of the Perivale park sports fields and the Longfield meadows and ponds on the other side of the railway embankment as the “Greater Perivale park“. Now sandwiched nicely between these two is Pear Tree park, which along its northern and western edge is entirely contiguous with Perivale park itself, the eastern edge being bounded by the railway line and the southern edge by the river Brent. So when something new or interesting is found in these general areas, I might find myself describing it as the greater park and its distinct three sections, each with their own character. So today the photos were taken in the greater park, and particularly in the Pear Tree section and the Perivale park pond area.

As you can see, two new benches have appeared recently in Pear Tree park, accompanied by litter bins. In the Longfield meadows section, where there are benches WITHOUT bins, the litter there today was horrendous! You can also see new sandpits, with white sand placed in what used to be golf bunkers and a group of about 15 supervised youngsters already enjoying themselves there. I cannot help but ask whether the local population of foxes might also take an interest in this sand – with obvious implications for kids playing there!

As further features for the new park area appear, I will let you know via this forum.

  1. I’m sorry Henry what exactly is the point of your post? Are you celebrating the fact that the sand bunkers have now been filled with sand and they are being used as joint children’s play areas and dog toilets. Perhaps what you should do is report the situation to The Ealing Environmental Health Department.
