Could be a great park, but... Neglected park, many youths hanging around smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol, then dumping bottles and cans. This is seen almost daily. Football practice on weekends is a nightmare, as the kids dump water bottles in the field and adults dump coffee cups. Dog owner gatherings occur around 8am daily, where 12-16 dogs are running around sometimes out of control. A peaceful walk is no longer pleasant. Lots of illegal scooter riders daily, and speeding electric bikes.

Horrible park, kids on electric bikes and scooters driving around path and even grass. Got to watch out if you have a dog. People drinking vodka, and smoking weed. Some make rude comments as you walk past, not very friendly. Lots of toilet paper near trees, for human pooing no doubt.

Very nice park. The best part is this is not too much crowded as like many these days in other parts of harrow. Good open space for recreation and play. For football play there is good number of pitches so you won’t have to struggle. There is a bike ramp pictch as well. Suitable for all age groups. Multiple accessible parkings and entrance helps and free access.
