This Thursday will see the unofficial opening of the long awaited Northala Fields park.

Following much controversy earlier this year (more on Northala Fields) the park will now be officially open to the public to roam. Residents will be able to scale the heights of the mounds and take in sights of the fishing lakes and the London skyline. The opening is unofficial because some of the work in the park is yet to be complete, including a fisherman bailiff’s office and two tree-lined avenues that will cross the park north-souh and east-west.

If the weather is suitable then a tour of the park will be given to attendees of the opening.

The opening will be at 2pm in the park’s new playground at the Dolphin Road/Kensington Road entrance.
