Clitterhouse Playing Fields is the focal point of the open space provision at Brent Cross Cricklewood. Millions of pounds will be spent on extensive landscaping and new facilities to create a very special Community Park. This will be backed up by community sports and leisure programmes to encourage people to use the park. A maintenance regime including a dedicated Park Ranger is also planned.

Core elements include: New landscaping to create a simple framework of open grass spaces and avenue planting, enriched with areas of woodland planting, flower beds and meadow grassland. Improved access and circulation with a network of paths linking key destinations and new secure boundary fencing to control motorcycle and vehicular access whilst maintaining free access for pedestrians, cyclists and disabled users. The remodelling of levels and improved drainage to create flexible space to provide for a range of grass pitches.

New high quality sports facilities, including synthetic turf pitches and hard sports courts to cater for a variety of different sports and age groups. Areas E and C will be shared with the new school and open to the public outside of the school day. Informal recreation space to encourage outdoor activities and exercise, including a trim trail, boules courts, picnic areas and open grassland. New community facilities including child play facilities, a dedicated ‘Dog Park’ area, a café, changing rooms, booking office, secure cycle parking and car parking.
