The Dollis Valley Greenwalk North and Barnet Playing Fields section covers the area to the north-east of the route, between Alan Drive and Dollis Road / B1462.

This route is mostly off-road and generally mirrors the route of existing walking trails and paths such as the London Loop and The Dollis Valley Greenwalk.

Along the length of this section of the alignment, there is a surfaced path generally between 1.8metres and 2.4 metres wide. Paths are currently narrow, not formally designated for cycling and the section along the Barnet Playing Fields has uneven and poor surface quality.
