We regularly visit this place, as our daughter’s flat is in the vicinity and we can view park and tower right from the balcony. This year, however due to climate change impact, and very very hot summers in London, the whole park has turned brown instead of usual green grounds. Due to this the activities during the day have reduced. There is an open gym, open table tennis and an area for children to play with outdoor swings, etc. The historical clock tower is on one side of the park. This park was in earlier days known as Copenhagen park and was later on famous throughout the London (may be whole of UK), as the market place for trading animals and selling meat. One of the beautiful places in London to visit.

It's a open park. Good to do a picnic, reading or simply take a rest time.

Barbecues are not allowed in this lovely park with toilets, play area, gardens, field and woodland walks (including some wheelchair-accessible pathways). Enjoy lovely food at the cafe, a game of table-tennis on the two outdoor ping-pong tables, or get fit at the friendly outdoor gym. See if you can spot wildlife in the nature pond, or watch the birds.
