Clitterhouse Recreation Ground Explained

Clitterhouse Recreation Ground or Clitterhouse Playing Fields is a park and Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation^[1] in Brent Cross in the London Borough of Barnet.^[2] It is a large area of mown grass with a children's playground, bordered by thick hedges. Clitterhouse Stream (or Clitterhouse Brook), a tributary of the River Brent, runs along its eastern border.

The £4.5 billion Brent Cross Cricklewood development includes spending several million pounds on improving the park, including extensive landscaping, sports facilities and a nature park.^{[3] [4] [5]}
