I was delighted to find a park near the hotel I was staying in, with a fenced off dog park. Then I got there, and the whole park was covered in dog poo. The dog park especially, but also the rest of it. Un-collected dog poo everywhere. I can't imagine why/how people don't pick up after their dogs. Honestly, such a promising place turned into a disgusting carpet of poo by careless dog walkers, ruining it for everyone else. I pity the people living in surrounding houses who have to put up with this, except those who contribute to the mess. Utterly disgusting.

A pleasant square park, divided by surfaced paths, one tree lined, into four quadrants with a Victorian drinking fountain at the intersection. One quadrant has a playground and on the other side is a fenced off area for dog walkers.

I have to say I have a soft spot for this park (childhood memories). But it is a lovely park which is actually 300 years old this year! They have a good playground with play equipment from toddlers up to a zip wire! There is also a large grass area great for picnics, ball games, frisbee etc. There is another fenced and gated area for dog walking. The park has some beautiful trees. It doesn't have a cafe but the local supermarket is just across the road.

A village green in the center of BRENTFORD with easy access to bus services and commerce. Comprises of an off lead dog walking area and a well appointed childrens playground. It also has two open grass fields surrounded by mature trees. There are no toileting or sheltering facilities provided. An historical context is evident in 2 remaining memorial structures.
