This open space is part of the Moat Mount and Scratchwood Country Park, owned and managed by the London Borough of Barnet.
Moat Mount was originally the parkland adjoining Moat Mount House and in 1923 the land was acquired by the old Hendon Borough Council to be used as a public open space.
The open space has a wide variety of fine specimen tree species, some planted during the Victorian era. Foxes, muntjac deer and squirrels are among the animal species that can be observed in the area.
In 1997 Local Nature Reserve status was achieved for both Moat Mount and Scratchwood.
The Reserve also houses a campsite which specialises in school excursions and camping trips. The site is a popular choice for many of the local schools as an introduction to wildlife and outdoor activities.
