Ravenscourt Park: Visitors Keep Out !

Published: 24th July 2024

Nomination for a Wooden Spoon, 2024.

True? It certainly looks like it.  First, the popular paddling pool acquired a costly gated cage, a pre-booking requirement taking much the spontaneity out of a summer visit, with numbers, time limits and families frequently turned away. Next, some gates  – function unclear –  have appeared across the busy Ravenscourt Avenue entrance. Ugly and unwelcoming, these gates not only obscure views into the Park but cause maximum inconvenience and frustration to park users who find themselves having to queue to get either in or out. The Friends of Ravenscourt Park were not consulted on either.
