Hilly 33-acre municipal green space with wooded and play areas, a cafe plus panoramic city views.
Small park spread over sloping terrain with an acclaimed protected viewpoint towards London. A rote playground, all-weather court, skatepark, cafe and toilet might not suggest much but the setting reveals a composed and relaxed tenor. A variety of mature trees, both scattered and grouped, articulate the contours against the skyline. Richard Trupp's "Juggernaut of Nought" sculpture, (Trupperware?) an intrusive jarring shard/splinter embedded on the northern slope - recalls the "monolith" in Stanley Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey" - ruptures the tranquility, piercing the veil of time, place...and meaning. This alien presence, a counterpoise to the equally alien London panorama slithering across the horizon. This unassuming park is memorable.
Good run around for my son for a few hours, he loves going. They have a skate park and a few climbing frames aswell as the usual slides etc. They have picnic tables and ample grass space if that's more your preference. They also have a cafe and the woman who runs it is lovely
Not so big park but have great view of London.
I like this park but recently looks a bit tatty. I know it seems to be the modern thing to let grass grow so you are wading but too much. The fenced off area they had for no dogs totally rubbished, fencing all down and dangerous with bits of fencing hanging or sticking up which could hurt someone. The new benches look like they were made by amateurs and they should either be painted properly or sanded down to takeaway roughness and treated.
Local park by preference, amazing skyline views which somehow motives when doing workout. Not too busy along the day. Perfect place to go by yourself to sit and relax or go with friends, family and children. The workout area is located right in front of the children play ground. Ideal for parents looking to do a bit of workout, introduce their children the habit of exercise and then go to the playground. When snows this place is lovely as the same when is foggy, as incredible when is sunny. If you came on the 31st of December from there the views of the fireworks around London is perfect and not to mention that there will be some local fireworks too. Public restrooms by the Skate space. Ps: the views from the workout area to London skyline are fully visible in Autumn/Winter due after that due to trees leaf. Parking all around the area.
It's a really nice park first time I went there today with brilliant views I will be coming hair again
