It’s our Birthday! 51 years ago the #BrentRiverPark was opened, creating Luke FitzHerbert’s dream of an 8km chain of green space along the #RiverBrent. Now we’re involved in exciting plans to take his vision forward into a new West London Regional Park stretching to the Thames.

"A continuous area of beautiful and natural surroundings". 12 open spaces linked by a "network of footpaths, along the riverbank, threading between golf courses and playing fields.” Luke FitzHerbert's dream for the Brent River Park became a reality 50 years ago. Let's celebrate!
