We asked you to share your views on the draft masterplan for Barnet Playing Fields and King George V Playing Fields. This draft masterplan had been informed by the feedback received through the first two phases of public engagement in 2018 where we had asked you what you would most like to see on the site and then what you thought about the facilities, layout and location proposed in the initial draft masterplan. In this latest online engagement, undertaken between 3 June and 28 July 2019, we asked you specifically for your views on the following:
- the facilities proposed within the draft masterplan
- the layout and location of the proposed facilities within the draft masterplan
- any comments you may have on the overall draft masterplan.

Of the proposed indoor facilities, all four scored over 67% of respondents support with the café (including toilets) being the most popular facility and of the proposed outdoor facilities, outdoor gym and trim trail, improved pedestrian routes, adventurous play area and toddler play area all scored highly.
