1 / 3Forster Memorial Park
📍 London, Greater London
Established in 1922, Forster Memorial Park combines remnant woodland, open grassland, multiple age-separated playgrounds, a tarmac perimeter cycling path, outdoor gym equipment and an on-site cafe.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
An excellent all-day option for families with children from toddler age through to early teens. Younger children get two distinct playgrounds; older children and adults have a full perimeter cycling route, outdoor gym and woodland exploration. The cafe makes a longer visit practical.

“There is so much going on in this almost-hidden park. On a map you might see a big field with a strip of trees around the edge, but there’s much more going on. The grassy main area is the size of several football pitches with a tarmac path all the way round that’s perfect for kids to bike / scooter on. It has two playgrounds, slightly annoyingly separated by the toilet/changing block. There’s also a nature space. The trees around the side are deeper than expected and verge on a wood on the western side with their own paths, separate from the main area. Two secondary grass areas are perfect of you want to be a bit more secluded, have a picnic under trees, etc. The park can be accessed from all sides via paths, though Longhill is probably the best for parking as you don’t have to walk uphill and it is closed off at the southern end, so quiet.”

Overview
Forster Memorial Park wraps a large central field with a perimeter of old woodland, creating distinct zones for different activities. A tarmac path circles the entire park and is well-suited for bikes and scooters. Two playgrounds serve different age groups, separated by the toilet block. The woodland sections extend further on the western side for more sheltered walks. An outdoor gym and sports facilities add options for older children and adults.
