Grand plans for a mutli-million pound sports hub are due to be unveiled to people living in Hounslow and Ealing.
As part of the next phase of the overhaul of Gunnersbury Park and Museum, an £8m sporting facility with floodlit tennis courts, artificial multi-sport pitches, grass pitches and outdoor gym, will be pitched to the public at a meeting on Thursday (July 23).
It will display the latest plans - developed since the first consultation in March - which also includes an indoor sports hall, changing rooms and a café for residents of both boroughs to enjoy, and the possibility to host major London events.
Councillor Ed Mayne, Hounslow Council’s cabinet member for public health and leisure, said: “We hope the sports hub will modernise the facilities and encourage thousands more to enjoy sport in Gunnersbury Park in the future.
"Through the consultation we aim to draw on the expertise of users and knowledge of local people to refine and improve the plans prior to submission of the planning application.”
If the ambitious project gets the go-ahead, the park will undergo a major revamp and its historic buildings will be restored in time for its centenary in 2026.
AFLS+P Architects will be presenting the proposals for the sports phase and will be on hand to answer any questions alongside representatives from both councils.
A further public meeting is scheduled for September 8 where the plans will be on display and online prior to submission of a planning application in the autumn.
Councillor Bassam Mahfouz, Ealing Council's cabinet member for transport, environment and leisure, added: "This Sports Hub will meet our ambitious plans to ensure our parks are spaces which can be enjoyed, where residents can keep active and get involved with organised sports.
"I'd encourage people to come along to the meetings to have their say about how the plans are refined in our consultation."
The public meeting will be held in the Terrace Room of the Small Mansion at Gunnersbury Park at 7pm on July 23.
