Harrow Weald residents were in for a surprise today as life-size dinosaurs arrived at the Bannisters Sports Centre car park.
The new dinosaurs will be part of a huge new dino-themed mini golf course that is opening in this Summer next to Bannisters.

The centre is located along Uxbridge Road, Harrow Weald, with an 18-hole golf course expected to open in August.
The plans drew a mixed reception from residents as some raised concerns about parking issues and distractions for motorists.
The new golf course was approved by Harrow Council back in September 2019 however plans were put on hold due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Dinosaurs featured at the new course will include a T-Rex, Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus and a skeletal T-Rex – at least that’s what can be seen so far. It is believed that the new creatures will be animatronic and will ‘growl’ when guests walk past, they’re made of fibreglass and the largest is nearly 16 metres long.
