Northala Fields was opened in 2008 and consists of four artificial hills standing next to the A40 Western Avenue, as well as several fishing lakes and a large field. The hills were constructed using rubble from the demolition of the original Wembley Stadium, which was closed in 2000 and demolished in 2003. The park has won a number of major awards. The name "Northala" is how the old manor of Northall (Northolt) was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086.
