Newton Park (West) consists of open space either side of The Roxbourne river which was left when the adjacent post-war council housing was built. The Roxbourne, which is its main feature, is also known as the eastern arm of the Yeading Brook. It rises near Harrow and converges with the Yeading Brook in Ruislip on the southern side of Western Avenue. This in turn flows into the River Crane which reaches the Thames at Isleworth.
