Broomfield Park

Not very impressed with the manners of the person who close the gates for the night. Me and my dogs had our last walk just before the gates were about to close and i have made sure i keep my eyes on the gate so we wont get locked in. The person had to make a sarcastic comment as we were walking out of the park. There was no reason for it.

In summer this park is amazing. It’s so big, massive fields to play on with plenty of picnic space and a huge softplay area for the littlens!
This park also has a café open a few days a week and kids activies on half term. Love it here, so pretty with the ponds & ducks too!

I love Broomfield Park — beautiful open space for a picnic, great place for running, amazing views of central London ona clear day/​night, an outdoor gym, a café, mini golf, free tennis courts, a football pitch, a community orchard, beautiful ponds — what else could one ask for? :)

This is such a great park with so many corners and areas tucked away for you to discover.
There are three lakes on which you have geese, ducks and coots nesting (and the odd visiting Egyptian Goose popping in to say hello) as well as a very well tended walled garden tucked out of the way with its own conservatory that is open for a few hours to the public every Sunday.
The big open green spaces give way to tennis courts and basketball courts that are all open and (seem) free to use by the general public. These are right next to the much slower paced bowls pitch and just across the pond you have a new and well frequented outdoor gym.
Behind the gym there is crazy golf course (could do with a little spruce up but still a good laugh and very reasonably priced) which then leads out into 2 big football pitches. This big area often welcomes fair grounds and summer fetes.
Very easily accessed, is just opposite the Palmers Green train station.
There is also a burned out stately home on the grounds that has planning permission to be turned into a café and a few other ‘visitor centre’ type things. I for one am looking forward to this going ahead and getting completed to bring more people into this particular part of the park as it feels a little abandoned and neglected.
A fantastic place to go running and exercise, or simply to grab a picnic basket and do something much less energetic on the beautifully tended grass.

Delightful! Perhaps the most effective use of park-​space in Greater London. Its quite small but packs a huge punch as demonstrated by the vast number of locals who populate its every nook and cranny on those lazy Summer afternoons. I love it!

This is my absolutely favorite park in London. Mostly because I live right by it so its the one I go to the most!
It has a large field type area, with a few benches, and a few trees, but the highlight is a fallen tree, that is a great place to sit on/​lean against and read a book.
It also has crazy golf, and large pond complete with permanent little boys with boats, and an adventure playground.
It is deceptively massive, and even has a house, that is now very run down, that I am reliably informed used to James I hunting lodge!
