This new park lies to the south of the A40 in Ealing and was opened to the public in 2008. It has been constructed using the spoil from near-by developments at Wembley and White City.
In total around 60,000 lorryloads of spoil and concrete, around 500,000 cubic metres, were dumped on the site. This was used to create the four hills, while the concrete was crushed and used in gabions - walls surrounded by steel cages - that provide a spiral path up the tallest hill. Over one mile of gabion baskets were built on the hills. The hardwood timber on the gabion seats and bin tops is also recycled material. Path edgings and the fishing piers are made of recycled plastic.
