Central Park — Attraction in London

For families it's great when the sun is shining, and there's plenty of play areas for the kids. There's a tennis court and it's great for riding your bike. The fields where you'll find people playing football or cricket any day of the year are often used for events which attract thousands, such as the brilliant "Under the Stars"

However, like most parks these days it's full of gangs of youths hanging round a bench in their hooded parkas, which always makes me laugh when it's a sweltering 28° c outside. Some might find it intimidating, they obviously think it's cool themselves, personally, I think they look like 'plonkers,' as Del Boy would say!

There used to be a café in the park too, but I think that had fallen long before Covid struck. Worth a shot I suppose if you are an enterprising businessperson and have an idea or two

So, worth a visit of course, but Central Park is best avoided once it goes dark - unless its holding one of its event nights, which would be well policed - and at all times hold on to...

It really is a good local park to have. I have attached a picture of the fair that is hosted within the park once or twice a year.

Sadly just like many other parks there are some Anti Social Behaviour which takes places near the big fountain by the bus stand where there are characters who like to congregate and chill. They do like to make a mess, noise and smoke whatever they like to smoke. Apart from that the park...

Lovely, well maintained, family friendly park. Attended a Newham Age UK event. Very informative and enjoyable. Mayor was there spent time speaking with members of general public, took photos. Free refreshments and Zumba session for anyone who wanted to join in. Update, attended another Newham event today; 08/05/23, attended by Mayor of Newham who planted a tree in the park garden in honour of community volunteers and charitable services (in Newham). Great event, well attended despite poor weather forecast which wasn't as bad as stated. One negative: young teenager, supported by Mother's adult female friend, refusing to queue like anyone else for an ice cream. Other (some paying) people were in the queue for over an hour but he had a token to get a free ice cream and stated "l'm not waiting in the queue for an hour to get an ice...
