Robin Grove Recreation Ground Improvements

Robin Grove Recreation Ground is situated in Syon and Brentford Lock Ward, and sits alongside the Grand Union Canal. It is one of Hounslow's few waterside open spaces, and has recently undertaken development of a new footbridge across the canal to improve access to Brentford Station and the town's centre.

The works also include improvements to Robin Grove Recreation Ground with organisation Waterside Places contributing funds towards landscaping improvements.
