Site of the 1879 Royal Agricultural
Exhibition, the 30 acre Queen's Park has been owned and
managed by the City of London since 1886.
It has been named a Green Flag Park for more than ten
years running, in recognition of the quality of its services and
environment.
It provides a welcome splash of green in one of the most densely
populated parts of London, serving the residents of the London
Borough of Brent in which it is located, as well as residents from
several neighbouring boroughs. Facilities include six all-weather
tennis courts, a pitch-and-putt course, a pétanque pitch, an
ornamental garden, a children's playground with paddling pool, and
a cafe.

Queen's Park - have your say!
A website
http://www.greenstat.org.uk/ has been set
up to record feedback and provide local residents with the
opportunity to comment on how open spaces nationwide are
managed and maintained. The City of London will be able
to access this information and compare results on Queen's
Park with other open spaces up and down the country.
We would very much welcome your involvement. Please visit
http://www.greenstat.org.uk/ and click on the
London region, where you will then see a list of organisations –
please chose ‘City of London' which is conveniently located at the
very top of the page. You will then be asked to select whether you
wish to comment on the Service provided by City of London, or to
comment on a specific Open Space. If you select option 2 ‘Park or
Open Space' you will be given a list of City of London open spaces
to comment on – please select ‘Queen's Park' from this list and you
will then be taken through an online survey.
Queen's Park takes part in urban
bloom experiment
Queen's Park has been selected to participate in a research
project by Sheffield University and the Royal Horticultural Society
to find the best wildflower mixes for urban areas.
Five small areas in the park have been identified as suitable
plots on which to carry out the experiment, which will run for five
years. Over that time the university's renowned Department of
Landscape will sow a variety of wildflower seeds to create
perennial meadows. These will provide greater flower diversity, a
much longer flowering season and a richer ecosystem by attracting a
wider range of insects than currently exists.
