Giraffe House demolition
Learn about our decision to demolish Giraffe House and our future plans for the site's use.
Plans for the new clubhouse
We are going to build a new, smaller building in the park, which will be used as a clubhouse for visitors to BMX Track London. It will include permanent public toilets—so there’s no loss of facilities in the park.
Before demolishing Giraffe House, we will install temporary toilets near BMX Track London and keep them there until the new clubhouse is built.
Using the new clubhouse
Community groups will be able to hold activities in the clubhouse if the activities are directly related to Burgess Park. As Burgess Park is designated Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) – it has the same protection as London’s green belt. This means that by law, any buildings in the park must only support park-related uses.
