advantage to Option 3 (community centre and Rose Garden) with
63%, over the Option 1 (Kilburn High Road entrance) with 37%,

and no support for Option 2.
The second engagement and the Winter Festival generated a
consistent response with the majority (50%) favouring a youth
activity space located in place of the Millennium Garden. There

Resurfacing of existing
tennis courts
• Upgrade the entrance through improved paving, gates/railings and
signage to draw visitors in from the adjacent Kilburn High Road.
• Tree works (subject to survey) to open up the vista of the park from the
entrance gate.
• Footpath widening and resurfacing.
• Rose garden upgraded as a sustainable flower garden providing year-round
seasonal interest.
• Quiet enclaves within the Flower Garden with seating and games tables
such as chess to provide a peaceful retreat.
• Community raised timber beds provided adjacent to Play Hut, with
opportunities for other related interests eg. orchard and bee apiary. This
would provide an inclusive facility for a variety of users.
Kilburn Grange Park
• Existing surfacing replaced with a high quality plaza space to act as an
extension to the Kilburn High Road and provide a usable space for activities
and events, eg. farmers markets.
• An avenue of trees lead to a feature gate to draw the eye in to the park,
while also softening the Kilburn Plaza and partially screening the MUGA
fence.
• Reinforced surface to allow for vehicle access to lawn space.
• Changing room toilets modified/extended to enable use as a park facility
when MUGA is not in use.
• Park attendants hut relocated next to the changing rooms to provide an
overseeing role of the park.
• Improved power and water supply for events and activities.
• Ornamental sliding gates open to full width to maintain the open
character of the park. This would allow for use of the MUGA, changing
facilities and possible events after park closing hours.

Play Area
The position for the youth activity space has been selected due
to its location close to the Hemstal Road entrance, adjacency to
the parks focal point, younger children’s play area and outdoor
gym.
The younger children’s play area is to be kept, updated and expanded.
The central location is highly visible and well connected, while also
providing sufficient separation from roads and other park users.
The use of the space will be decided in further consultation with
local community groups to identify what they would like to see
and how this fits in with other local facilities.
New proposals would provide:
Informal sports area
Table tennis
Adventure play
Games area
• Traditional play equipment suitable for the age range and inclusive to
all groups
• Provide greater play value through a wider age range, variety of
equipment and play types
Suggested alternative uses include:
• Skate park
• Cycle park
• Existing ‘Adventure Play’ provision reprovided in a combined larger
play area following end of current facilities life-cycle
• Informal sports area
• Water play feature retained or reprovided
• Climbing wall.
• The existing nature trail improved
Climbing wall
BMX/ Skate park

• Link with Kingsgate Primary School retained.
A potential ‘Pop-Up’ cafe/coffee cart facility with space for outdoor
seating provided adjacent to play area, and providing a physical link
between the Play Hut and Active Zone.

•The footpath network would be reassessed to enable
improved connections and resurfacing to be carried out

improved visibility and accessibility.

owners who wish to exercise their dogs independently.
This will include a number of smaller enclosures with a
variety of surfaces (gravel/grass), and small pieces of
agility equipment. Bins and suitable signage would also be
provided.
