Local residents gathered in Willesden Junction, Brent and enjoyed an afternoon of family fun at the Tubbs Road Fest. The event, held at Tubbs Road Pocket Park, was a hit with over 50 children and families on Saturday 20 August. Despite the rainy conditions, everyone came out to enjoy a fun afternoon and take part in the festivities.
The free family event, organised by the Junction Residents Association, environmental regeneration charity Groundwork London and Brent Council, gave the Tubbs Road community an opportunity to gather together in their local park. Enthusiastic locals got involved with a range of fun activities including a gardening workshop in the raised beds, children’s activities, Punch and Judy, Blendavenda smoothie bike, face painting, poetry reading and giant games.
Groundwork London carried out intensive community engagement in the Tubbs Road area in 2010 which led to Groundwork London’s landscape architects transforming Tubbs Road Pocket Park into an area designed to reflect people’s aspirations for a playful space with seating, colourful planting, improved surfaces and interesting, playful features.
Tubbs Road Pocket Park was transformed from a derelict space into an urban oasis, serving as a valuable amenity for local people to socialise, relax and play outdoors. Over 250 residents have participated in events and workshops in the past year and over 1700 residents have benefitted from access to an open space, improving their health and well-being.
