Perivale Park Golf Course in Ealing faces potential closure, prompting residents to launch a petition advocating for its preservation.  

Launched on the 7 September, the petition is nearly reaching its goal of 2500 signatures - currently at 2047.  

Having served the community for nearly a century, the golf course is now at risk due to Ealing Council's proposal to rewild the area.  

The petition organisers have said that the rewilding will take away Ealing's only 9-hole golf course that residents enjoy.  

The petition states: "It is a very diverse, inclusive and accessible club open to everyone used regularly by all ethnic backgrounds, young, old and all abilities at an affordable price, supporting people's health and well-being."  

Back on the 13 September, leader of the Ealing Council, Peter Mason, in a statement welcomed the potential of a redevelopment of Perivale Park into a new regional park in Ealing. 

In the statement he said: "We are creating a rare opportunity for an incredible new regional park in our capital. The Elizabeth II Park has transformed the east of London, and this new regional park has the potential to have similar positive effect on the borough and West London."   

Cllr Mason added: "The proposed regional park would provide a beautiful new space with rewilded land and woodlands as well as new places to improve health, play sports and enjoy cultural events right in the heart of our borough."
