The park was for centuries part of Sheepcote Farm in the manor of Harrow, and named after its lord, Northwick. It passed to affluent Harrow School and then Middlesex County Council acquired its original 192 acres of land from that institution. in the 1930s to plant trees and transform a landscape within existing hedges. The amount of public open space has since diminished with: For some time until 1939 the latter hosted an active golf course. From 1987 to 1991 a Commission looked at carving up Brent, overcome by degree of Brent London Borough Council and local objection, which would have moved the park and locale into the London Borough of Harrow.
