About the park

Also known as Penrith Park, it’s home to Hainault Bowls Club and other local cricket and football clubs, with a refurbished pavilion this is a great venue to hire sports pitches.

Barbecues are not permitted at any of our parks and open spaces.

Club room available to hire – deadline to apply 27 April

Calling all small or startup businesses! Are you looking for premises to work from?

The club room at Hainault Rec has become available to hire.

This good condition club room is set in a beautiful park location and provides an excellent opportunity for a business that may wish to grow. The club room has great potential to be developed and adapted into offices, boxing club, nursery, or even a café.

Interested parties will be required to submit a business case demonstrating how they would operate and manage this facility within the park and how they could bring social value to the community (note: hirer would be responsible for all the utilities bills and maintenance of the building and need to have public liability insurance).

The notice period of tendering will commence from 13 April-27 April 2021. Expressions of interest should be emailed to coral.hayden@visionrcl.org.uk by Monday 27 April 2021.

Due to Covid restrictions we cannot currently accommodate any visits, however I attach for your information a video tour of the building.
