Children's Play Area - including Quad Bike course, to open at Birchen Grove Garden Centre in Kingsbury at Easter

 

 

A Quad Bike course is to open at Birchen Grove Garden Centre, Kingsbury, on Friday March 29th in time for the Easter weekend. Rides will be £2.

The course is part of a revamp at the Centre which already provides play for toddlers at Jane's Cafe.

Swings and climbing frames are already open. (Shame about the plastic grass!)

Plastic Grass in an outdoor childrens play area is an abomination. It's unhygienic, grows mould, and heats up in Summer.

Please give them some credit for creating this free play area for kids.

A large scale children's play area investment is on site in Queens Park de-population (flats back to family houses) conservation area of adaptation, preparedness, community resilience building development.

South Kilburn since the tall building zone council regeneration "other idea" of the 2019 Local Plan, has as yet no 45 hectare tall building zone masterplan. One re-newed in 2010 pocket park is become public total lock out for a year to brownfield it. Planning is rendered recklessly lax in this zone where a massive scale car-free towers population growth is brutally cast by decision-makers as a zone having no adaptation, community, resilience, health and wellbeing needs.

An ever more segregated London is the cross party political consensus.

Big thumbs up to the garden centre. At least now my kids will more willingly come shopping (stressful enough these days!) knowing they can let off some steam. As for the plastic grass - sure, it's got pros and cons but as the garden centre have funded it, it needs to be easy to maintain for them as their staff are busy enough at this time of year. There are few and far between kids' play areas in Brent as it is so let's appreciate it and not nitpick.

They even now even have plastic in the Wembley Stadium pitch 😡

"The Wembley Stadium pitch has been made of five per cent polyethylene plastic since midway through last season, and has become the world’s first fully recyclable football pitch."
