Hendon park

West Hendon Playing Fields is one of the largest parks in the Borough of Barnet

Barnet council has launched a design competition for a £19m redevelopment of West Hendon Playing Fields in north-west London.

The 62-acre park, in Hendon, is one of the largest in the borough and already contains tennis courts, football pitches and a playground.

The council said it wants to upgrade the space with more tennis courts, artificial turf pitches, a high ropes course, a bowling green, a skate park and other facilities.

It is also planning a hub building to house a cafe, indoor climbing, an workout studio, a nursery and community room.

三名入围的参赛者将在两个阶段的过程中获得10000英镑的酬金,获胜者将获得合同,在RIBA第三阶段开发他们的计划,并提交正式的规划申请。

The first stage will be an ideas competition inviting entrants to showcase their “visionary thinking”.

Councillor Alan Schneiderman, chair of the council’s environment and climate change committee, said the scheme will “enhance a magnificent green space in the heart of an otherwise very urban area for everyone to enjoy”.

该比赛由景观研究所发起,截止日期为9月18日。
