Removal of Copthall Fields Outdoor Gym Equipment
Received: 18 July 2025
I would like to request the following information:*For many years I and many residents have used the outdoor sports facilities and gym equipment spread around the playing fields at Copthall, Champions Way, London NW7Over the last year or so, some sports facilities have been removed from the Copthall Playing Fields, these being, and in this order:1) Climbing Rope2) Monkey Bars3) Highest of the 4 Pull Up Bars4) then - all remaining Pull Up Bars.Could you please provide:1) the precise reason why these facilities have been removed2) if there are plans to remove any more outdoor gym equipment3) are there plans to replace them4) and the department that made this decision5) and a contact for the person/department responsible.It seems counter intuitive for such equipment to be removed, which is used daily by many residents - I thought Barnet Council were trying to encourage fitness and health, not reduce it.I would like to send photos showing content sent via your 'Report a Problem' form, and the sites in question, please advise.If you require clarification, please contact me by email/post.
