Crouch Hill Community Park

Islington Council is working with its partners on a proposal to relocate Ashmount School to the site of the former Crouch Hill Recreation Centre. Our aim is to provide a sustainable new development with excellent education and leisure facilities.

After listening to local views on this issue, the council has commissioned preliminary plans for the Crouch Hill area. These include:

• a new school on the site of the Crouch Hill Recreation Centre
• a new building for Bowlers Nursery
• a refurbished Cape Play and Youth Centre
• protection of the site's natural environment with enhanced care for its plant and animal life
• accommodation for community use
• improvements to the open space with better security and access for the public

The preliminary plans can be viewed by downloading the PDFs at the bottom of this page.

The Next Step

The council will now prepare a formal application to planning authorities.  We will follow all due processes as we take the project forward.

If planning consent is granted the council will be making a big and important investment in the community and services to be provided in the area. 

Have Your Say

At Islington Council we think Crouch Hill has great potential to offer both a diverse natural environment and well maintained community facilities. The council wants as many people as possible to contribute to our exciting vision for Crouch Hill.

We want to hear your ideas about how we can make the park a great facility for your community.

Talk to us at our public exhibition in the park on:

• 20 June 2008 3pm-6pm
• 21 June 2008 11am-3pm

We will be by the CAPE Youth Centre through the park’s main gates at 85 Crouch Hill, N8 9EG
