Best for families with children under 8 who want a quick, no-cost play stop within one of London's most distinctive parks. The sand pit is genuinely clean and well-maintained. Pair it with the dinosaur trail to turn a brief playground visit into a longer outing.

“Not the most interesting of playground (mostly swings and a sand pit) but all in good condition and the sand is fine and clean. Certainly enough to keep babies, toddlers and primary school aged children entertained for a couple of hours”

“A lovely day out, very busy on a Sunday. Dinosaurs looking a bit dated but fun to go and see. Play park area suitable for under 8s. Sunday Food Market quite diverse.”
