Moormead and Bandy Recreation Ground — Attraction in London

Pros: Nice quiet area to take your child to play without any drunk people hanging around Very good when it's summer as there is plenty of shade covering the playground area. Good parking on weekends.

Cons: BEWARE of coming here between Monday to Friday EVEN if it a bank holiday by car via Hill View Road. There is a sign at the top but with the gate open it is unclear whether you can go through or not, also the parking machines read "No charge on Bank Holidays" which contradicts the sign. This is the council's very shady way of getting you a fine sent to your home for £65.00, if you have received the fine then save your time and don't even bother appealing.

Apparently the reason you are not allowed to enter is because of congestion, funny since their is no congestion on a bank holiday and even funnier that if you enter the same park via St.Margaret's the same sign does not appear but you are entering from a way busier area.

Anyway... I hope this helps and you...

Well it's a smallish park with a nice children's play area and open green space. It's mainly used as a cut through. The main let down is there's a dog pen in the children's play area and the only way to get into it is to walk into the children's play area which is a byelaw breach and also very pointless as 1. you have an open green space you can use and 2. the fence isn't exactly tall and some dogs can quite easily jump it into the children's play area and the children and parents...

This park is a good facility for St. Margaret's and Twickenham area. Paid parking is available on Hill View Road & Moor Mead road. Plenty of restaurants coffee shops St. Margaret's road , Crown road and Twickenham town centre. St. Margaret's and Twickenham stations are available within walking distance. Moreover, the iconic Rugby Stadium, Marble Hill park, River Thames, Eel pie island and historic York house & garden are main points...
