Edgwarebury Park — Attraction in London

Wow, to think, this park is approximately a five minute drive from where I work and, until yesterday, I knew nothing of its existence. It is visible from the A41 but I always drive along there and have my eyes fixed on the road ahead, sensibly. Edgwarebury Park is beautiful. It has a lot of interesting trees, which appear to have been grouped together with thought and design. It has some gardens within the boundary, where one can sit and cogitate, read or converse. It has paths, both hard and soft, along which one can walk, push prams, run or walk dogs. It has tennis courts, which were in use when we visited. It is largely free of litter. It is clearly well kept and there was evidence of tree planting and maintenance. There is a building close to a well equipped playground and outdoor gymnasium. The building houses ladies, gents and disabled toilet facilities, so rare in this day and age. It also contains an equally rare refreshments shop where one can purchase drinks and snacks. Edgwarebury Park is not only a breath of fresh air but also a reminder of days gone by, when things were done properly, with thought and care. It was a dull day yesterday with rain threatening but it was still a very pleasant experience. I can imagine the park being full of people playing, walking and generally having a good time on a hot summer's day. The park is not large but it has gone straight to the top of my list of favourite...

I love this park. Today being one in a series of wet ones, it wasn't as pleasant.There were puddles of water and streams of water flowing(perhaps from drains or the rain water cascading from a higher altitude- not sure) In the rose garden, plants had been pruned showing evidence of care. The canteen was serving as usual.People did seem to observe distance. A tape stretched showed the area for the queue. The entrance to the inside was blocked with a deep freezer. There was activity as usual; players in the all the courts- tennis, net ball etc . The children's play area was full of happy children. I found children particularly interested in the Zip wire(sling rope) .It was business as usual. The plants and trees were either washed or drenched in water, shrinking it on the floor with the wing. Overall nice and quite pleasant...

Very nice park but could do with a lot better public toilets.

The outdoor gym needs a bit of maintenance, like cleaning & oiling some parts. The arm spinning thing is pointless. And those racks for doing sit ups are very bad for you. You could really do yourself some serious back damage on those. They are completely wrong for sit ups & crunches. They look like torture racks. They could definitely do with a chin up/pull up station. Also it's too close to the kids playground. You often find kids take over the place & you can't properly use the various stations without being disturbed. Not a lot of thinking went in to this section of the park, as long as someone was able to tick another box for the...
