Parsloes Park

A small area opposite the Wren Road entrance is managed for wildlife and designated as a Local Nature Reserve called Parsloes Park Squatts.

[2] The park derives its name from the Passelewe family, who owned the land in the thirteenth century.

The park was opened by MP Christopher Addison on 13 July 1935, marking the official completion of the Becontree estate.

[2] In the 1930s, the stretch of the Gores Brook which flowed through Parsloes Park was channelled through a pipe and buried.

In 2022, Thames21 supported by the Mayor of London's Green and Resilient Spaces fund, announced plans to deculvert the stretch of Gores Brook running through the park.
