83 Netball Courts Quantity There are no local authority netball courts in the borough. Of the schools surveyed, only Capital City Academy and JFS had netball courts in use, however it appears that not all schools were included in the audit and additional schools have netball court facilities which are available for public use e.g. Kingsbury High schools. The MUGA at the Pavilion in Stonebridge is used by a local netball team. Funding has been granted to the Council from the London Marathon Charitable Trust to develop a disused tarmac area in Gladstone Park into an area with 5 publicly accessible netball courts. It is anticipated that these courts will be available from summer 2009. Supply & Demand The Active People survey records netball participation rate to be 0.1% in Brent. This is below the London (0.3%) and England (0.4%) level. Netball has been identified as one of the 8 priority sports in the borough and, as a sport that primarily women participate in, there should be a greater availability of provision. There are no agreed levels of provision and therefore recommendations regarding levels of provision have been calculated to recognise school provision and to provide facilities that will encourage more females to participate in sport (e.g providing netball facilities at the Local Authority sports centres). Athletic Tracks and Facilities Quantity and Quality There is one outdoor floodlit athletics track with high jump, long jump, and pole vault pits plus a hammer and shot put cage at Willesden Sports Centre. This facility is in very good condition, having been resurfaced as part of the sports centre redevelopment and reopened in November 2006. There is a disused cinder track at the rear of Vale farm sports centre. Supply and demand The six lane athletics track at Willesden Sports Centre equates to a capacity ratio of 0.021 lanes per 1,000 population in 2007. This is below the London average of 0.04. To match the London average, the borough would require a further 5 lanes now and 6.2 lanes by 2016. Active People Survey showed Brent’s participation in athletics track and field activity to be 0.3%, which is higher than both the London level (0.2%) and the national level (0.1%). Map 50: Travel time map – athletics tracks Symbol Range (minutes) 3.18 - 14.45 14.46 - 25.72 25.73 - 36.99 37 - 48.26 48.27 - 59.53 The map above shows that people living in Alperton, Wembley Central, Tokyngton, Barnhill and parts of Kenton are over a 50 minute walk away from any outdoor athletic track facilities. However usage at the Willesden Sports Centre track is low with additional capacity available for more users and there are several athletics tracks close to the borough boundaries at Perivale (Ealing) Barnet Copthall (Barnet), Harrow School (Harrow) and Linford Christie Stadium (Hammersmith & Fulham). Therefore there does not appear to be demand for the additional lanes suggested by London-wide provision rates.
Chapter six Outdoor Sports Facilities Bowling Greens Quantity There are 9 outdoor bowling greens in the borough, 7 maintained by the local authority and 2 privately owned. The provision of bowling greens is concentrated in the North and South East of the borough. Map 51: catchment map – Bowling greens Location of Bowling Greens Quality 47 76 3 7 28 Table 36: Borough Bowling Greens and Pavilions, sites and quality scores 17 52 21 Of the local authority sites, all but Alperton Sports Ground and Gladstone Park have a club associated with them and are in relatively good condition. Alperton Sports Ground is no longer in use and, although Gladstone Park was refurbished in 2006 with Heritage Lottery Funding, it was only brought up to a casual standard of play, in the event that demand for bowls may increase in future and subsequently brought up to club standard. Roundwood Park green is the most well used and in the best condition. However, the pavilion associated with it is in one of the worst conditions. Of the private bowling greens, both are known to have been in financial difficulty. Century Bowling Club has redeveloped its site replacing two lawn greens with one artificial green which has enabled them to make improvements to their pavilion and indoor bowling green. 4 Legend Pay & Play Bowling Greens Registered Membership Use 1.6km Buffer Bowling Greens Ward Boundaries 1.6km Buffer Bowling Greens Site Name & Site Reference Number Total Score % Pavilion Score % 3.
