A new sports hub is being created in Gunnersbury Park as part of a major redevelopment.

The facilities will include two top-level, floodlit 3G artificial pitches, as well as grass pitches, also suitable for rugby and cricket, plus an eight-team changing pavilion, a gym, a studio and a sports hall.

Brentford FC Community Sports Trust is working with others on the new sports hub in the park.

The Project is a collaboration between Ealing and Hounslow councils and involves the Trust, University of West London, the London International School and local leisure provider Better.

The new sports hub is part of the redevelopment in the park undertaken by joint owners Ealing and Hounslow Councils.

The Grade II listed large mansion has seen improvement works and now plays host to the park museum which was recently awarded £164,000 of National Lottery emergency funding to help from the fallout of the pandemic.

It provides a source of local history for residents and place of learning for local schools.

Restoration of the heritage structures dotted across the parkland has taken place, including on the Orangery, Temple, Princess Amelia's Bathhouse, Gothic Ruins, Round Pond and a new café.
