Overview

We have been allocated funding to improve play facilities across the borough. There is a fixed amount of funding available so the council has identified play facilities which would benefit the most from refurbishment.

Tudor Sports Ground has been identified as one of the play areas that would benefit from improvements, and we have assigned £150,000 to make improvements to its play facilities.


What are we seeking your views on?

We would like to know what you think about the play facilities we are proposing to implement at Tudor Sports Ground. You can view the proposal for the playground

What are we seeking your views on?

We would like to know what you think about the play facilities we are proposing to implement at Tudor Sports Ground. You can view the proposal for the playground and also view the individual pieces of proposed equipment.


How can you give us your views?

Please take the time to complete the online questionnaire.

We will also be running two pop-up events in Tudor Sports Ground playground, so you can view the proposals. Council staff will be on hand to discuss the plans and answer any questions you may have. The pop-up events will take place at Tudor Sports Ground, Barnet, EN5 5JS on the following dates:

  • Wednesday 13 July 2022 10:30am – 1:30pm
  • Thursday 28 July 2022 10:30am – 1:30pm

To request a questionnaire in an alternative format, please email parks@barnet.gov.uk or telephone 020 8359 7404.

Alternatively, you can write to us at: parks@barnet.gov.uk or Greenspaces, London Borough of Barnet, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale, NW9 4EW.

If you wish to have your say on another playground, please return to the Parks Improvements consultation homepage.


What happens next

We will review the feedback to see if there is any interest in changing the play facilities and we will make any amendments to the plans where possible and within the budget allocated. The improvement work to the playground is likely to take place in 2023.

The council will publish the consultation findings on this page, and we will also let you know how we are acting on the results of the consultation under ‘We asked, You said, We did'.

    We asked

    We asked for your views on the proposed play facilities at Tudor Sports Ground.



    You said

    We received 104 responses to the online questionnaire; we received six direct emails and we spoke to 35 people at the two events we ran in the park. The key themes from the public consultation were:

    • request for more imaginative play/Wendy house
    • separation of the older swings and younger swings
    • request for more facilities for disabled children
    • request to keep or have new monkey bars
    • request for an outdoor gym.



    We did

    Following the feedback received we developed a revised plan, which includes:

    • a Wendy house has been added to the revised design. There is also seating under the ship and a shop under the toddler unit
    • the equipment for older children, including swings has been grouped together on one side of the playground, and the equipment for younger children, including swings, has been grouped on the other side
    • a mirage swing has been added which can be used by a wide range of physical abilities, and a wheelchair accessible roundabout has been added to the design
    • the ship includes a set of banister bars, and you can use your arms to go down or up these.


    The order has been placed for this design, and it is likely to be installed in February/March 2023.

    In response to the request for an outdoor gym, the funding for the playground can only be used for a playground, so cannot be used for an outdoor gym. A new state of the art outdoor gym opened in August 2022 at Victoria Recreation Ground, which is nearby.
