It was resigned by HTA Design in collaboration with the London Wildlife Trust and opened to the public in 2019.[7] The park is made up of multiple biophilic spaces including lakes, wetlands and ponds. It is a protected space for wetland birds.[8] The park also includes sports facilities and a 3000m³ play space at the park most elevated point.[9][10]
