Southall Park Drinking Water Fountain published their Delivery Report!1 year ago
Southall Park visitors will benefit from a new drinking water fountain. Designed with a tap, bottle filler and bowl for dogs, it will reduce plastic bottle litter and cost. A great combination.
A new drinking water fountain in Southall Park, (there is none there currently). This will provide everyone with access to free and healthy tap water. It is designed to be extremely durable; has a drinking tap and a bottle-filling tap; and it also has a ground-level tap/bowl perfect for dogs. It will be conveniently located near the outdoor gym equipment and playground. It will additionally help reduce the amount of single bottle plastic use and also help reduce litter.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The average London adult buys more than three plastic water bottles every week - a startling 175 bottles every year per person. In total, some 7.7 billion plastic bottles are bought across the UK each year, resulting in substantial amounts of single-use plastic waste. Drinking water fountains help reduce the number of single use plastic water bottles used, helping our environment and cash in our pockets.
Steps to get it done:

VolunteerEaling Parks Foundation is a recently established local charity, the first Parks Foundation in London, formed in answer to the diminishing amount of public funding available for the enhancement of public parks and green spaces. The six Trustees have been drawn from the local community, through an open recruitment process and come from a wide range of backgrounds. They all share a passion for parks and green spaces and are bringing their various skills to creating and supporting this new charitable trust.
Ealing Parks Foundation will play a leading role to ensure that Ealing is a borough with distinctive parks, vibrant green spaces, and exceptional habitat, designed to contribute towards ecological diversity, support environmental sustainability and offer excellent recreational opportunities that connect our community, promoting health and well-being, appreciation of our natural environment and providing great places to meet, play, learn, grow, breathe and enjoy nature together.
Ealing Parks Foundation will support parks across Ealing with time, expertise and raising funds for the “added extras” that make a positive difference for people and our shared green spaces. Raising funds for a drinking water fountain in Southall Park is one of our projects that will make that positive difference.
We also pleased to announce that we launched our first initiative with ‘The Ealing Parks Foundation Summer Family Wildlife programme’. This programme successfully linked children and families with nature in a fun way.
