I’ve spent my childhood and beyond at Acton Park! It’s a lively, large park with all you could need. Brilliant for kids as the playground is big and spacious, especially now with the new extension, and the Acton Park Children’s Centre at the bottom of the playground has always been lovely. There is also a new skate park just outside the playground! I have made use of the tennis court and basketball court in the past in addition to the outdoor gym. There are large green areas perfect for playing, picnics and team sports. There are pathways around the perimeter of the park and throughout, great for running, dog-walking and cycling. There are lots of benches around so you’ll be able to sit down no matter what and the seating near the mini-golf surrounded by flowers is very pretty!
Only possible negatives I can think of is the small (& seemingly unknown) pond is not well looked after so it is dark and lifeless (I remember seeing ducks and their ducklings in there as a kid but not anymore😔). Plus, Google Maps says there are “Acton Park Pavilion Toilets” which do not exist so your best bet for a toilet is the cafe at Putt in the Park or the children’s centre. As a woman I do not feel comfortable walking through this park in the dark due to the lack of lighting- but this factor applies to almost every park. ^^These things don’t deter me from giving this park 5*’s as it was a brilliant park when I was a child and has been refreshed to be even better now! I moved out of the area last year but I still frequently go to Acton Park to walk...

Read moreI recently visited Acton park, and I have to say, it was a lovely experience. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a nice mix of sunshine and shade from the trees, which made for a very pleasant stroll. There’s a walking path that winds around a beautiful pond, and I loved watching the ducks paddle around.
The park had plenty of benches, so I took a moment to sit down and just relax. It felt nice to be surrounded by nature and hear the birds chirping in the background. I noticed some families having picnics, and kids running around happily—definitely a good spot for a family day out.
There were also a couple of playgrounds, which looked well-maintained and safe for kids. I even saw a group of people practicing yoga on the grass, which is always nice to see.
