Kneller Gardens is a popular accessible park in Twickenham that forms part of the scenic River Crane walk, connecting with Crane Park to the southwest and Mereway Nature Park to the east.

Very nice, clean, and child-friendly. I enjoyed a delicious ice cream and had a lovely walk around the park. It’s a great place to relax, and I would happily visit again.

A pleasant neighbourhood park with a cafe in the centre, a large play area and tennis courts. The River Crane runs along the southern side.

A very peaceful big open ground with water flowing, a small cafe and a playground. Serene, calm and enjoyable for both kids and adults. Ideal for cycling and walking.

I frequently run in beautiful area at Kneller Gardens along River Crane. If you live nearby, you should definitely stop by. A wonderful spot to hang out. There are basketball and tennis courts, a playground, a coffee and ice cream shop, a green space for dogs to run on, and a picnic area. As a family, you can easily spend afternoon with children. Adults can also use a few training devices that use their own weight. Alongside, a river flows, adding to its allure. Excellent location if you live close.

Great place to spend time. Tennis and basketball courts, playgorund, coffee and ice cream shop, green for dogs and running around and also for picnics. You can basically spend a whole afternoon easily with kids as a family. There are couple of training devices for adults as well using your own weight. River flows alongside making it even more attractive. Super place if ypu are living nearby.
