Harrow parks and open spaces
- Harrow parks and open spaces
The London Borough of Harrow is one of the northern outer London boroughs: as such much of the Green Belt land is within the Borough boundaries. Parks and open spaces range from the large area around Harrow-on-the-Hill to the smaller gardens and recreation grounds; there are also a number of spaces taken up with golf courses . It has been suggested that Harrow is continuously losing its green space and trees. [http://www.harrowtimes.co.uk/news/localnews/display.var.1224944.0.borough_turning_grey_as_trees_fall.php]
