Join our campaign to save Whitewebbs Park, a naturally rewilded public park in Enfield, North London from development by Tottenham Hotspur Football Club for their new training ground.

Brief History

The 240 acre Park, comprising grassland and ancient woodland, was bought by Enfield Council in 1931 for the public. It is Green Belt land held in Public Trust on a lease term of 999 years. The Park (grassland section) was used since the 1930s as a public golf course. Enfield Council closed the golf course in the pandemic and it never reopened. The lease stated that if the golf course was to close, it would revert to public use, so in 2021, the public were free to roam across the course. Since 2021, there has been minimal maintenance, and so the (golf course) landscape has been naturally rewilding ever since. The now thriving ecosystem provides a stunning mosaic of grassland, scrub and woodland habitats and is home to an astonishing array of wildlife. Now, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club wants to expand their commercial football training centre for elite players into the rewilded grassland section, and build a new road through a portion of the ancient woodland near Whitewebbs Lake. THFC's new proposed lease area is 130 acres, of which nearly half would be built on. Enfield Council are backing these proposals in spite of the overwhelming public opposition.

Vision

Our aim is for Whitewebbs Park to become a designated nature reserve.

We would like to see the Park become a central hub for residents and visitors to enjoy the beauty of nature that this borough showcases and to be a beacon for biodiversity in London.

Our vision is to build an inclusive community focussed on rewilding; environmental and wildlife education; mindfulness and collaborative activities (outdoor crafts, gardening, nature walks, retreats, eco-therapy, sustainable sports).
