Nice small little playground in Hyde Park. It is hidden between trees so hard to stop from far. A must visit if you have a toddler while in Hyde park to blow some steam off. Post which a walk along the waters edge felt relaxing.

It’s a kind of a hidden playground in Hyde Park, it’s very near The Serpentine with a lot of activities for toddlers and children, like slides, swings etc. Also has a very decent cafeteria. A very good place to have a small party or birthday.

The children’s play area in Hyde Park is suitable for ages 2 to 12. While it’s not very large and the options are limited, it’s a lovely spot and rarely crowded. It’s also safe for children, as it’s fully enclosed. Entry is free, though donations of £5 or more are welcomed at the gate.
