Lodge Farm Park — Attraction in London

All green open spaces get a 5 star rating from me, even if it does not have a children's play area, tennis courts etc. Developers are slowly stealing all our green spaces to build on because people are so ignorant about the benefits of such spaces that they allow it to happen. Japan are way ahead when it comes to the importance of natural environments and the effects they have on our health.

Tree therapy or bathing (Shinrin yoku) is the practice of walking and taking in of forests and woods. Plants release chemicals that give us a positive health boost but people opt to stay indoors playing on their mobiles, watching screen or being totally oblivious to our relationship with the natural environment. Lodge Farm Park is great, get out and smell the breeze, take a walk, feel the natural energy and let it overwhelm you.

Your children need outdoor time more than indoor corrosive environments. Get out and give your body the nature it...

Lodge Farm Park in Romford is a hidden gem for anyone looking to relax or enjoy a casual day out. The park is beautifully maintained, with wide open green spaces, shady trees, and a peaceful brook running through. What really stood out to me was the miniature railway such a fun and nostalgic touch, especially if you’re visiting with kids. There’s also a great mix of things to do, from tennis courts and a playground to a bowling green and outdoor gym.

What I really appreciated was how calm and community-focused the park felt. Families, dog walkers, and older folks all seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. It’s not massive, but it’s just the right size for a relaxing stroll or a picnic. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area or want a peaceful break from the busier...

Stumbled upon this park by accident (had meant to visit Harrow Lodge park lol). Free parking inside for 3 hours. Cute little average park and has a good enclosed kids play area. We saw a miniature train track running along one side - perhaps some kids’ rides are organised in non winter months (?) A peaceful place for a walk and a stretch - but it’s very small - and after 8-10 mins you hit the end of the park with rows of houses, so we looped back towards the car. Wouldn’t drive to go back there again - but if living within walking distance would certainly make it...
