History
Pear Tree Park was officially opened to the public in July 2024. The park is about 49 acres in size, and was first developed on the site of Perivale Park Golf Course, which was closed in order to make way for Pear Tree Park.[2] The closure of Perivale Park Golf Course was not without controversy. Local golfers signed petitions protesting the proposed closure, and the National Association of Public and Proprietary Golf Clubs opposed the plans to repurpose the golf course for rewilding. [3] Ealing council however argued that a majority of residents responding to their consultation were in favour.[4]
The name "Pear Tree Park" was inspired by local children from Brentford Primary School and reflects the area's past association with pear trees; hence the name "Perivale", meaning valley of pear trees. [5] As part of the rewilding process, around 5,000 trees were planted in 2025. [6] The park contains a mixture of grass, meadows and wetlands which offer a range of wildlife habitats. [1]
