Description

Grahame Park, in Colindale, is a large area of open parkland surrounding a large 1970s housing estate. It has an undulating landscape, which partly reflects its foundation over the site of the former Hendon Aerodrome. Most of the park comprises short-mown turf with scattered trees, but there is an interesting pond near the main road.

Wildlife

Reedmace and rushes fringe the pond. Coots and moorhens nest among the rushes, and frogs and newts are also thought to breed.
