Cricklewood

Cricklewood is a 0.4 hectare urban Green in North-west London.



Location
Claremont Road NW2- first turn left from Cricklewood Lane (A407) travelling from Cricklewood Broadway or ten mins walk from Cricklewood Station.

History of the Green
The Green was created on what used to be railway land with air raid shelters.

Millennium Feature
A local community artist Alistair Lambert created the set of railway-inspired sculptures which are the Millennium Feature.

Learning Space
We raised funds and created a space for the local schools to meet with their teachers to discuss projects related to wildlife and have school events organised within the green. The local scouts use the facilities for their training.

Nature & Wildlife
The trust have planted a lot of trees on the site, transforming it and creating a mixture of habitats. There is a labelled nature trail through the site. On the North side of the Green there is a band of trees and shrubs that connects with shrubs on the other side, making good habitat for wildlife. The planted trees are mostly Native trees, including a number of Field Maple and Hazels.

Rolling Base Youth bus visit
The Rolling Base youth bus visited the Green and had a big cleanup in 2008.

Easter Events
The Trust have held a number of Easter Events over the years.

Fundraising & Sponsorship
We entirely depend on public and private donors as well as volunteers to maintain the green space for the local community and extended visitors.
