The Croft (Pinner) — Harrow Parks Forum

Key Information

Welcome to The Croft Playing Fields (Pinner)

The Croft Open Space is a park in Pinner bounded by Cannonbury Avenue, Glover Road, Hill Road, and East Towers.

Originally part of Downs Farm, the land was purchased by the council in 1932. It hosted allotments until the 1960s, when they were replaced by the East playing field.

It features a 750m perimeter path which is popular with local walkers, dog walkers and joggers.

Park Facilities

Amongst other areas, the park boasts:

football pitches (The local ‘Pinnstars’ youth football club makes use of the pitches)
basketball area (Basketball Hoop 750m diameter)
outdoor gym
children's playground (recently updated by Harrow Council with new fencing and a roundabout)
pavilion which serves as the home of the Harrow Boxing Club (Harrow Boxing Club. Contact via www.harrowboxingclub.com)

Rich in wildlife, the space and its bordering hedgerows supports local foxes, visiting badgers, crows, owls, parakeets, and starlings.

Friends and Community engagement includes the following:

Managing and maintaining a tree line along the south side (sponsored by the Woodland Trust )

A mini-orchard in the northwest corner (sponsored by Harrow Boxing Club)

Local friends and volunteers support Harrow Council's Parks Green Team with the following activities:

The Croft Friends Group was formed in 2020 under the auspices of the Harrow Parks Forum.

The aim of this small local volunteer group is to help Harrow Council's Parks Team keep The Croft a pleasant, green, informal open space for all to enjoy.

We have made a number of small improvements over the past few years and have liaised with Harrow Council when things have needed repair or replacement.

There are currently 10 permanent members plus 3 regular volunteers.

Volunteering opportunities are advertised via local WhatsApp groups and Facebook
