Introduction Roundwood Park is a formal Victorian Park, and has long been considered the Brent show-piece green space. Renovated facilities and the excellent cafe have helped to achieve Green Flag Status. The Park has English Heritage Grade 11 Listed Status. Brent Council commissioned Groundwork London to carry out a consultation of Roundwood Park particularly with a focus upon the Summer Theatre area, provision for young people and nature conservation. The aim of the consultation was to identify the needs of the local community and formulate ideas about improvements that could be made in relation to these three areas mentioned above. From late summer to late autumn, Groundwork spoke to local residents, community groups and community organisations to discover out how they wanted to see the facilities at Roundwood Park, improved and developed in the future. This report is a culmination of our findings.
Questionnaire Analysis 1000 surveys were distributed through several different mechanisms. We delivered surveys to each house that was in the immediate locality of the park, this included all the streets that face on to the park from all sides, and some of the cul-de-sacs to the side of the park. We gave a freepost envelope with each of these in order to encourage people to send them back.
We also spent a number of sunny days in the park itself, speaking to park users about the consultation and asking them to fill out a questionnaire there and then, if they were unable to do this they were given 2
Roundwood Park Consultation
a questionnaire to take home and fill out later. This was a really useful tool, as the park and particularly the café were very busy and a number of questionnaires were filled out in this way. The questionnaires were also distributed to the bowls club situated within the park and left in the café with a freepost envelope for return.
Some questionnaires were left with St Mary’s Primary School for parents to fill out, and a group of young people at Capital City Academy also completed questionnaires.
Some questionnaires were given to the Roundwood Park Trust and Harlesden Town team for distribution amongst members and at their events.
The questionnaire was also available online and was promoted through the Harlesden Town team and Roundwood Park Trust facebook groups, as well as Groundwork’s own website. A total of 179 questionnaires were returned, 9 filled out online, and 40 were completed through one to ones in the park, the remainder were returned by post.
The survey gave an option to provide personal information, asking for the number of people in the household, ages of the household members, and ethnicity.
68% of those who returned the questionnaire were female, with 26% being male and the rest choosing not to disclose their gender. The highest number of respondents was overwhelmingly in the 35-49 age category (46%). Those aged 50-65 came in second (20%) and 25-34 third (12%).
Response to Questions
How often people visit the park. Overall results show that the park is well used by residents particularly in the spring and summer months, with a high number of respondents visiting on most days. Even during the winter months a high number of visitors still visit the park one or more times a week, although numbers dwindle significantly for ‘most days’ during these months suggesting that regular park use is more suited to warmer weather and that current provisions do not allow for comfortable recreation in the park in the winter months.

Roundwood Park Consultation
Travel and travel time to and from the park. The majority of respondents travelled to the park on foot, with the majority also travelling less than 10 minutes, showing that the park is largely used by local people. However many people also travel to the park by bus, bicycle and car, showing that the park is popular with people who live a bit further away and people are willing to travel to get there.
Reasons for visiting the park. People visit Roundwood Park for many reasons, with enjoying the beauty of the surroundings being the most popular reason. Other popular choices were relaxation/a place to sit, to use the café facilities, to visit the children’s play area and to meet friends.
Visits to other Borough Parks. Respondents visited a number of other parks, for a variety of reasons. Queens Park was the most popular park that respondents visited with 36% of respondents using it. The reasons for visiting other parks were varied, with the main reasons being:
Better play facilities,
Beauty and Nature,
Location.
Summer Theatre Area. The vast majority of respondents never visited the Summer Theatre side when they came to the park, with many stating that they didn’t even know there was such a thing in the park. This is unsurprising as the Summer Theatre has not been in use for many years.

Roundwood Park Consultation
Respondents were very keen to see wildlife features developed in the park, with features to attract birds and animals (103 respondents), a wild flower meadow (93), nature trails (80) and wetlands/ponds (79). Trees and shrubs and grassland were less popular choices with 49 and 45 respectively.
Play Provision. Is play provision in the park sufficient?
Yes No don't know
51% of people surveyed felt that play provision in the park was sufficient, with 30% believing that it wasn’t and a further 19% who didn’t know.
Is there anything that would make you visit the park more often? 53% of respondents said that there was something that would make them visit the park more often, 24% said that no there wasn’t anything and 27% said they didn’t know. Respondents had a variety of suggestions as to what would make them visit the park more often. The most popular being:
Putting on more events and shows throughout the year
This included arts and crafts fairs, farmers markets, theatre shows, live music and funfairs
Reinstate the park wardens
Many respondents were concerned about a lack of safety and security on site since the park wardens had gone
Improved facilities for children and young people
Particularly for teenagers, suggestions included Skate Park, youth club, adventure playground, lido, sand pit, bigger swings. 6
Roundwood Park Consultation
Improvement of Toilets
Improved nature area
Pond, edible trees and bushes,
Exercise equipment and racket courts
More seating
Other suggestions: As well as these suggestions people wanted free parking, mini/crazy golf, an area specifically for dogs, higher visibility of police, a small petting farm and improved pathways. One wheelchair user commented ‘As a wheelchair user - flat pathways and more signs of a park ranger (damage to bowls green)’
Open Space Event On 17th September, Groundwork London facilitated an open space event in Roundwood Park. Invitations were sent out with the surveys, posters were put in the park and the park cafe, and the event was posted on the facebook site of both the Roundwood Park Trust and the Harlesden Town Team.
Lunch was provided and a specialist youth worker provided complementary activities for children to involve them in the day.
The day was delivered using Open Space Technology, which is a way of holding meetings that support self-organisation. Those that attended the meetings were asked to come up with their own agenda that aims to answer the question “How could small-scale interventions at Roundwood Park make the summer theatre area, facilities for young people and nature conservation features better suit the needs of the community?”
At the beginning of the meeting people were asked to come up with questions or topics that wished to discuss, and those that asked the questions convened the discussions around their own topic. Participants were encouraged to move from one topic to the next when they felt they had contributed all they could.
52 people attended on the day, representing different parts of the community; young families, young people, more senior members of the community and the local PCSO. All were engaged with at least one topic and most inputted into several of the discussion areas. A number of topics were discussed with residents getting involved in thinking up solutions to the issues. 7

Youth Focus – No Particular Place to Go Between September and October 2011 Groundwork London carried out a series of school-based and community activities to facilitate young people’s involvement in the consultation process for the improvement of Roundwood Park.
These activities were part of a wider consultation process funded by Brent Council and was funded through Groundwork London’s Big Lottery project ‘No Particular Place to Go’. This project is funded through the Playful Ideas strand and is in the final part of a five year project.
This project empowers young people to actively design outdoor community space to better meet their needs and those of their community. It gives the young people the freedom, skills and resources to 9
Roundwood Park Consultation
determine what happens to their outdoor space and leads to a sense of ownership over the space and a connection to it.
We employed a variety of consultation methods to facilitate the young people in engaging in their open space. These methods were drawn from experience of previous consultations and tailored to meet the needs and demographics of the local area, ensuring that they are suitable to the site in question. The methods employed included:
Play consultation sessions and workshops,
Site Audit,
Observational visits and playground visits,
Presentation of findings.
St Mary’s Primary School Session 1: Play Audit To introduce the project we put together a specially designed quiz that helped the children to think about the park in ways they perhaps hadn’t before, and for Groundwork to see how engaged with it they are. 12 young people attended the session; we had a range of ages from year 3 up to year 6. We split the group into three different groups for the task.
Next we talked more in-depth about the park and facilitated discussions about what the children think about Roundwood Park. In the same groups, we got them to think about the different aspects of the park, and ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’. Things they thought were good in the park included the big swings, the café and playing in the leaves.
We then got the young people to think about what were the most important things that they had mentioned in the bad and the ugly sections. For the bad, they decided dog poo and dogs not on leashes, dirty toilets and a lack of bins were the three most important. For the ugly, the broken bench, lack of security and dogs were the three things they prioritised.
Conclusions from the session The young people were all regular park users who had in the whole a positive view of the park. There main concerns surrounded issues of dogs and dog poo, the lack of bins and the state of the toilets. They were happy with the current play provisions, but noted that there wasn’t much for older people who might use the park and suggested an area where they could sit that was away from where people played games. All of the group agreed that they visited the park regularly both with the school and their families,
10
Roundwood Park Consultation
and particularly liked to visit the cafĂŠ and play on the big swings and run through the leaves in the autumn.
Session 2: Site Inspectors Site Inspectors was designed to facilitate discussion about the green space and to enable the children to gather evidence that relates to questions that we posed about the park. These questions fitted in with the question that was posed to the community at the Open Space event, relating to the summer theatre, nature conservation and facilities for young people. These questions allowed children to look more in depth at the green space and consider it from the point of view of service users and the limitations the current design features might hold. Site Inspectors Group 1 Main Question: Are there facilities suitable for all age groups? Site Inspectors Group 2 Main Question: Are there enough plants and animals in this space? Site Inspectors Group 3 Main Question: Is this space really important to the local community?
Conclusions Group 1 felt that there were quite a lot of things in the park already for their age group, as they had the play area and the trim trail area and they liked that there was plenty of open space to run around in and play games. They felt that the park had something for everyone as there is the MUGA for teenagers/young people, the cafĂŠ attracts a mixed crowd and that adults could use the park to walk their dogs/exercise whilst older people might enjoy sitting on the benches and looking at/smelling the flowers.
They felt that the park could do with more benches spread throughout the park for people to sit on and that a designated ball games area would be good. There were discussions around the play area being quite a long walk to get to and that it would be nice to have another play area on the other side. The suggested a skate ground and separate area for playing on their bikes as people currently cycle along the footpaths.
Group 2 thought that there could be a lot more in the park to attract wildlife, and suggestions included fruit trees, bird boxes, and bushes. They suggested an area specifically for dogs and liked the idea of a dog toilet as they were concerned about dog poo in the grass. They thought that the park had lots of nice flowers and that was good for older people who maybe just come to the park to sit and relax. They also
11
Roundwood Park Consultation
wanted to see the aviary being improved as they felt it was too small for all the birds that were there and that it needed cleaning up and the outside repainting. A petting zoo or min farm was suggested.
The third question was looked at by the group as a whole. The children remembered there had been an open air cinema there about 18 months ago and thought that more regular screenings would be a great use of the space. They wanted to see more regular activities taking place here and liked the idea of school performances taking place in the area. Suggestions for the space included creating a seating area with logs or such like. A nice sign stating the area as a performance area, creating a picnic area, snacks/drinks area. When it was explained to the children that the current theatre building was likely to be demolished due to the state of it they thought that it would be nice to have some kind of shelter, perhaps with a canopy that could be used not just for theatre but children’s activities in the park as well. One of the children suggested a community notice board, showing people what events were taking place at the site and other areas as well.
One of the children liked the area as it is and was concerned that a theatre area would be noisy, and that people came to the park in order to have peace and quiet.
Session 3: Inspirational Park Visit, Site 1: Little Wormwood Scrubs Points of interest: Adventure Playground, Play Park, nature trail, exercise equipment
The children enjoyed the adventure playground and thought it would be good to have one at Roundwood Park. They were also really excited by all the exercise equipment although they were all too young to use it. They all agreed that it would be great if there was some exercise equipment that was for adults at Roundwood Park, with a few bits for children in their age group, so that they could use it whilst their parents were using the other equipment. They liked the little play park area, and particularly the house with the slide. They were concerned by the number of dogs that were roaming around the park and that the big grassy area in the middle seemed to be one giant dog toilet. Despite the fact there are dog toilets all over the park no one seemed to be using them.
Site 2: Queens Park Points of Interest: Play area, lido, and small zoo.
They enjoyed playing in the park, particularly on the flying fox, and spent most of their time with that piece of equipment. Unfortunately it was quite a cold day and the lido was cold, but the children said they 12
Roundwood Park Consultation
had visited before and really loved playing in the water. They liked the animals in the zoo and thought that the birds in the aviary looked in better condition than at Roundwood Park.
Conclusions Although the children really liked the adventure playground at little Wormwood scrubs, they thought that it was maybe too big for Roundwood park and as it needed to be staffed, (and therefore was not always open) was maybe not suitable. They said they would like something that was open all hours. They all thought that the exercise equipment was something that would be more suitable at Roundwood. Their favourite piece of equipment was the ‘Flying Fox’ and they all really wanted to see one put in at Roundwood Park and suggested that it could run alongside the perimeter fence.
It was good for the children to see the other facilities in the area and to think about what would and wouldn’t work at Roundwood.
In all the exercises and visits we encouraged the children to think about the park from the point of view of not just themselves but all different park users.
Session 4: Final session, what makes a good park? This session was designed to help children create an idea of their idea park. Using inspirational images, standard park images, and photos taken throughout the project, children created their ideal park. First we started off thinking about what makes a good park.
What makes a good park?
Space to play,
Big Swings,
Ice Cream,
A café,
Somewhere to run around,
Ball games,
Lots of different things to play with,
No dog poo,
Dogs on leads,
Something for everyone,
Recycling,
Clean toilets, 13
Roundwood Park Consultation
Places to sit,
Grass and flowers,
Lots of birds and butterflies,
Clean,
Safe.
What would you like to see in Roundwood Park? “A flying fox like at Queens Park.” “Improve the bird cages.” “New big swings where lots of people can go on them.” “Exercise equipment for everyone, not just for grown ups.” “A water fountain so we can have a drink if we are thirsty.” “A bigger café.”
Generally the children really liked Roundwood Park and were happy with the play equipment but some of the older children thought that they would soon be too big for it and it would be good to have some different things for older children.
Capital City Academy We ran sessions with some young people from Capital City Academy to find out what young people wanted to see in the park. We chose this school as it is very close to Roundwood Park and was recommended by members of the Roundwood Park Trust. We were allocated a group of young people who studied at the school to work with. Of the 11 young people, only one had never been to the park. Most of them used the park regularly, either as a cut through or to visit for various reasons.
Session 1 In the first session we stayed within the school and talked to the young people about the consultation process so far. We talked about usage of Roundwood Park and why they visit it. The main reasons for visiting the park were:
Hang out with mates,
Play football,
Use the MUGA,
As a cut through.
14
Roundwood Park Consultation
The young people agreed that there didn’t seem to be a lot to do for people their age and often the MUGA area was in use by older people training and they didn’t feel like they could use it. The young people filled in the Roundwood Park Questionnaire, and we thought about activities they would like to see in the park.
Session 2 In this session we visited the park in order to get a clearer picture of what improvements could be made. First of all we took a walk around the park, looking at the positives and negatives of the park. Positives
It is a good size,
Nice for older people to sit and relax,
Play park for children,
Multi-use Games Area.
Negatives
Not a lot for girls to do,
Aviary is not well looked after,
Not enough seats.
We then tried to look at the park through the eyes of different park users. This was done through a dragons den style activity. We had 4 characters and the young people split into groups and thought about 2 questions as they walked around the park. They then fed their thoughts back to the group. The two questions were; What are the problems the park user might have with Roundwood Park? What should we consider when developing the park to make things better for the park user? The main points that came up from this were safety in the park, lack of lighting, potential for noise and Anti-social behaviour, accessibility and seating in the park.
Session 3 In this session we got the young people to feed back from their visit to the park and what they would like to see there for their age group The main ideas that came up were
After school activities,
Girls club,
More courts e.g. tennis/badminton,
Skate Park. 15
Roundwood Park Consultation
They all agreed that there was enough equipment for younger children in the park. Regarding the summer theatre area the young people agreed that it could be a great hub of the local community, but couldn’t remain as it is. They were concerned if a new building was there it too would be left for disrepair and set on fire. They believed a sheltered canopy area may be more appropriate, and then it could be used for many different activities as well as theatre.
Conclusions of Children and Young peoples Consultation (No particular Place to Go) The project facilitated sessions with children and young people to assist them in taking an interest in, and responsibility for their local area and community. They were given the opportunity to look at their community from a different perspective and in doing so, became more respectful and understanding of the way their park functions within the local community.
We worked with two different age groups- children from a local primary school, and young people from a local High School and discovered the different needs and wants they have for their local park. We found that actually the primary school children were quite happy with the play equipment at Roundwood Park, although they thought their ideas would change as they grew older. The children were mainly concerned with the number of dogs not on leashes at Roundwood Park, and about dog faeces making the park unclean and unsafe to play in. However they did not like the idea of dog toilets as from our visit to Little Wormwood scrubs they felt that these were not well used and didn’t look very nice. Practicalities such as a drinking fountain and clean toilets were high on their list of priorities. They also wanted more seating throughout the park, both from themselves and other people to be able to relax.
All children agreed that facilities for older children were more necessary than improved play equipment. When given the opportunity to visit other parks their main request was to have a flying fox installed at Roundwood. They also thought that exercise equipment would work well at Roundwood and was something for the whole family.
Improvements to nature were also a high priority.
From the consultation with Capital City Academy, again it was thought that facilities were lacking for young people, specifically their age group. They were keen to see some new equipment for their age group, especially for girls. Their main request was some new sports facilities and after school activities. As with the younger children they thought that dog faeces was a problem in the park and that the aviary needed to be cleaned up and improved, as it looks messy and the birds look unhappy. 16
Roundwood Park Consultation
Conclusions In order to carry out the consultation at Roundwood park Groundwork undertook different methods in order to get as many different people involved in the process as possible, and to get a clear idea of how the whole community wants to see the park improved in the future. The consultation focussed on three main areas, as requested by Brent Council, although several other issues arose during the process.
Whilst we were not able to gather the opinions of all the park users and non park users in the area surrounding, we feel this report adequately represents the majority view of the park and the current problems and suggestions for improvements based on the responses we were able to access. The consultation shows that Roundwood Park is a well used and well-loved part of the community, that people feel very passionate about. Whilst those consulted were keen for improvements to take place people were also happy to have such a nice park in their locality.
Improvements to facilities for young people The majority of those consulted believed that younger children had somewhere nice to play and that there was enough equipment for them, although some bits of extra equipment was desired, particularly the kind of equipment in Queens Park. This was evident through the questionnaires, open space and the children’s consultation. Facilities for young people, was a key theme that emerged throughout the consultation. Local people felt that their just wasn’t anything for teenagers to do in the park, and that although the Multi-use Games Area is good, there needs to be more. Activities/Equipment for teenagers should be the number one priority in this area.
Improvements to wildlife conservation Residents are strongly in favour of increased nature conservation in the park, with a high number asking to be involved in this aspect. The main things coming out of the consultation was the need to keep features natural, attracting a variety of species of birds and animals. The aviary was a cause for concern and although generally people wanted it to remain, a revamp of the site is needed.
Summer theatre Residents are excited about potential re-development of the theatre site, wanting it to be brought back into use with regular and varied activities- from youth groups and school performances to live music and theatre performances. The majority of residents felt strongly about this site being brought back into use. The original theatre building needs to go, and a less formal structure put in place so that the site can be
17
Roundwood Park Consultation
used for all sorts of activities. A canopy over the trees to give shelter as suggested by the young people seems ideal for this area. Way Forward Due to the current financial constraints facing local authorities a phased approach will be taken regarding the recommended improvements to the park with short term, medium term and long term plans set out.
Short Term: Continue Hedgerow planting (to help obscure the cemetery). Plant of bulbs. Plant trees in the park including to the rear of the children’s playground. Install of bird/bat boxes. .Paint outer fence black/green. Erect football goals in the annexe. Improve signage for noticeboards Get price for demolition of existing summer theatre building.
Medium Term: Improve the nature area including addition of log walls. Improve public toilets. Liaise closely with the local PCSO’s and encourage them to spend more time in the park. Look at the feasibility/possibility of farmers markets/craft fairs in the annexe. Look at reducing the impact of dog fouling both in the park and the annexe. Tree identification labels and/or interpretation panels.
Long Term: Seek funding for the demolition and renovation of the summer theatre. Seek funding for the installation of a skate park in the annexe. Sensory garden for children More dog bins and benches Outdoor exercise equipment Improved signage
