Alexandra Park

“Great place! Lots of grass for picnicking, sports and walking your dogs etc. There's tennis courts and a table tennis area too. A flock of parakeets makes it's home in the big old trees and you will see swans on the pond most days. Also on sunny days you will see terrapins on the logs and shoreline! The old cricket club is a nice friendly cafe these days. The yearly Caribbean festival held here every summer is good fun for all ages. There are multiple entrances dotted along the boundary of this large park so you gain access from whichever neighbouring street you may be on.”

“Tai Chi with Hewan and Mags on field with flagpole - amazing. Sunday 11-1pm Lovely Park, plenty trees, parakeets and water birds on the pond (including a heron). Nice busy cafe serving hot drinks and snacks”

“Alexandra Park is a solid option if you’re after a calm, easy walk rather than a big “wow” moment. It’s fairly spacious, well-kept, and good for clearing your head or getting some steps in. While it’s not the most exciting park and can feel a little dull at times, that quietness is also part of the appeal - especially if you want somewhere peaceful and uncrowded. The paths are straightforward and suitable for a relaxed stroll, light exercise, or walking with company without too much distraction.”
