It was resigned by HTA Design in collaboration with the London Wildlife Trust and opened to the public in 2019.[4] The park is made up of multiple biophilic spaces including lakes, wetlands and ponds. It is a protected space for wetland birds.[5] The park also includes sports facilities and a 3000m³ play space at the park most elevated point.[6][7]

In September 2021, the body of Sabina Nessa was found by a dogwalker in the park, under a pile of leaves.[8]
