Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Fields — Attraction in London

A great park, huge green space, paved paths all the way round (ideal for bike rides/roller skating/buggies). There are basketball courts, free tennis courts, an enclosed playground with zip wire and a permanent paddling pool (only has water during kids summer holidays apparently). There is a softplay/cafe in the pavillion, but this costs money. No public toilets (there are some, but locked on a Saturday? So I presume never open?). Small carpark. Off road parking near-by. Dog friendly park. There is a crazy golf course. But again, not open on a Saturday. The extra bonus of this park (that my daughter loves) is there is a public footpath right at the back that goes through horse fields. You can stroke them and watch them to your hearts content!

Lovely park and nature filled environment. My local park where I walk my girls daily. And a childhood park.

An extremely peaceful and well looked after cemetery. A beautiful place for reflection and appreciation of the lives, love and memories shared by families and friends.

You always find something New and beautiful. I...

I normally come here to use the basketball courts which have metal chains. They have 4 regular-size hoops and 2 smaller-size hoops. If you're looking to teach someone the sport I would highly recommend it as it can cater to all ages. People hardly play football but there are two hoops situated on the concrete football pitch. They have roughly 4 tennis courts, side by side where people are normally playing tennis. You have a big metal fence which separates the tennis courts from the basketball court and the rest of the park. There is plenty of parking so if you did want to drive there, theres free parking and loads of spaces. There is a big field which normally have either football or rugby events going on. It also has an outdoor gym, it does have public...
