This fine open space in busy West Hendon has open grassland, with many sports pitches and a busy bowling green. The playing fields abut the Welsh Harp (Brent) Reservoir Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), notable for its major importance as a bird breeding and over wintering habitat. With areas of scrubland and a tree planting scheme at the top of Cool Oak Lane, the site provides a major ‘buffer’ to the Welsh Harp.
