History
Created during 2007 and designed in conjunction with the local community, the wildlife area contains various habitats and composting facilities. The site provides a haven for birds, butterflies, bats, beetles, and lots more. Hedgerows, trees and shrubs, tall grasses, wildflowers, woodpiles, a composting area, climbers, and creepers all provide birds, small mammals and insects with food shelter and places to breed.
An informal woodland walk leads to a viewing platform that overlooks the wildlife area, whilst access into the wildlife area itself is restricted, retaining it as a haven for the species it supports.
The House Sparrow, once a common and numerous birds in London, is now in dramatic decline. However, Queen's Park Gardens supports one of only four known colonies in Westminster.
