Consort Park and Dr Harold Moody Park
Improvements to the park include planting more trees and better access for individuals with disabilities.
Phase one construction works complete
Building work at Consort Park and Dr Harold Moody Park is now complete and the parks are open. The climbing equipment ‘trees’ will be open from June.
The Mayor of London awarded the project £450,000 of Green and Resilience Spaces funding to deliver phase 1 of a master plan for the parks and this includes:
- merging Consort Park and Dr Harold Moody Park, including creating a turning area for vehicles that extends into Dr Harold Moody Park
- creating more parkland by removing part of the road and parking spaces
- additional seats
- installing new climbing equipment in the shape of trees
The plan is also more beneficial to wildlife by:
- planting 12 new trees
- creating new sensory gardens and meadows
The first public consultation was held in early 2020, the second in spring 2021, and the third in summer 2022.

Next steps
A master plan was created with the local community and was granted planning permission in March 2024.
We are currently sourcing funding to complete the masterplan in a further building phase, this includes improvements to the playground and a new pump track for skating in Dr Harold Moody Park.
