I wish all parks were this well maintained and beautiful 😍 The kids playground, the courts and facilities are perfect. On top of that there is a mini railway ! The roses in the park were wonderful and overall its a 5/5. Well done to the council and park maintenance teams 👏 👍 🙌

We chose to go Ridgeway Park instead of pimphill for once and it had more kiddie frames but could do with a 10-16yrs climbing frames in the main park. It has the space for a great park for kids.

A lovely park with lots to do. Fun fare on at the moment. Best of all has public toilets which is much needed in parks. Ice cream van always available. All in all a well looked after park. Looking forward to Chingford Fest on 31st Aug 2019.

Fantastic park. Minuture trains on a Sunday 2-5.30pm. Ride for £1.50 per train ride. Loads of kids play areas for all ages, ice cream van in the heat (who accepts cards and even took euro!), adults exercise area, plenty of walking areas and green areas. Tennis courts also in park also.
