Avenue Park Improvement Works
Overview
Avenue Park - located within the Cranford ward in the Hounslow Borough - has an outdoor gym, children's playground, open field, tennis courts and community garden. It sits along the river Crane corridor and connects Hounslow to Hillingdon, bordering with Cranford Park which it is sometimes referred to as by local residents. It was also the home to the first sports arena within the Heston and Isleworth Council district in 1954.

2024- Playground and Outdoor Gym Improvements
In 2024, improvements were made to Avenue Park. Works included a brand new outdoor gym made by The Great Gym Outdoor (TGO) company and installed by Lampton Services Greenspace. As well as eight new play area pieces that include an agility trail and even a swing rope seat.
For details of the parts installed, please visit Avenue Park - Playground and Outdoor Gym 2024 | Parks development | London Borough of Hounslow.
A launch event took place once the works were completed on Saturday 18 May 2024 as part of the free to attend 'Wellness and Wildlife' event which many local residents and park users visited and tried out the new equipment.
As part of this launch the team requested feedback on these works, and a survey was published.
This survey was open for 3 months and closed end of August 2024, receiving only 10 responses.
