    One of the best parks in London. You can fish in the lake for a small fee, have bbqs, big children's playground in front of a cafe, an amazing bmx track... and a secret little garden :)

    I ❤️ the people and dogs of all different shapes and sizes and backgrounds at this park. People fishing in the mini lake always makes me slightly confused though…

    For those enjoying to play table tennis (ping pong), 2 tables placed at the far western side of the park, by the tennis courts.

    This park has improved so much over the years. You can play tennis here, skate, go for a walk or just sit on a bench and people watch.

    A huge park with varied terrains. Excellent for running with its pond, short trails and small hills.

    A great un-dodgy park to run, relax and play tennis. Monitored by wardens. The cultivated garden on the south edge is the best for chilling
