Report an issue in a park

We are incredibly proud of our parks and open spaces in the London Borough of Harrow. Our green spaces are the heart of our community. We proudly hold several Green Flag Park Awards to show for it.

Our park teams work hard every day to keep these lovely spaces for everyone. They carry out regular inspections and maintenance to ensure our parks safe and welcoming.

But we know that problems can come up between our scheduled visits. We depend on our residents to spot wear and tear or any unexpected damage. Your eyes and ears help us keep everything in good order. When you report faults, you help us keep our parks in great shape.

You can use our online form to let us know about any issues in our parks or open spaces. Please get in touch if you spot any of the following:

  • Problems with footpaths or paving.

Report a park issue

 

To report issues with play or gym equipment, see our Report faulty playground or gym equipment page.

Barbeques in our parks

One of the most common causes of grass fires is private barbeques in parks. Barbeques are not allowed in any parks in Harrow at any time.

Dropped cigarettes and glass bottles can be a fire risk. Please help us keep our parks safe and tidy by using a bin or taking your rubbish home.

Gate access and trespassing

Fencing in our parks and open spaces must not be changed. Gates must not allow direct access from a garden to a park. Accessing green space land from a garden is trespass.

Any unauthorised access will lead to action by the council. You will be asked to rebuild any missing fencing and cover the costs. This will include any legal costs.
