Being a newer resident to the area, I am intrigued by this playground. I love Stamford Brook Park, particularly as it is one of the main reasons that myself and my fiance got our puppy Willow last October. Living in London is difficult to find parks that are completely dog friendly, and having a park designated to dogs and their owners down the road was perfect. Don't get me wrong, the playground section of the park last year was lovely, and I love seeing children play and having fun. But this new play area is so much bigger than than the last playground and does seem to overwhelm the park a touch, plus it takes a large portion of the dog walking area away in this predominantly dog walking park? I understand that the local children need to play and this play area may seem so much more bigger than it actually will be because of the large fences and building site environment, but I do honestly feel that the focus has been taken away from Stamford Brook Park, the one fully fenced dog park in the area, especially as there is a wonderful childrens play area in Ravenscourt Park 5 minutes down the road. Besides all this, another thing for me is that I have recently heard that the Poplar Tree nearest the recent trade entrance is to be cut down. This would be awful, not just for the tree, but for the new build directly behind it and the park as a whole. Please rethink this, those in the know. |
