1 / 3Lammas Recreation Ground
📍 Staines, South East
Outstanding riverside park with age-gated play zones, a splash park triggered by ground plates, free tennis courts, mini golf, BMX and skate facilities, and a seasonal cafe. Located 15-20 minutes from Heathrow Terminal 5.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children across a wide age range who want a full afternoon without paying entry. The age-gated zones keep younger children from being overwhelmed, and the Thames-side setting adds genuine scenic value. The park is locked after hours — check opening times before visiting.

“The undisputed King/Queen of the parks. Brilliant, large open space, nice parks, river & splash Park for kids. Tennis courts & outside gym plus newly installed crazy golf. Beautiful place, best trees in the area. Newly installed Coronation benches and wind breakers are just perfect to watch the river roll by on a cold day. So much thought been put into this place - from the coffee shop (reasonable prices SHOCK!) to kids snakes and ladders with oversized dice. Whoever is in charge, bravo to your team! New toilets have now been installed and are very clean. Boat rides for x6 people (motorised) 1 hour £48 + £80 refundable deposit”

“A sizable green area that is dog-friendly and has multiple gated play areas that are separated according to age, including two with water elements that are triggered by ground "plates" and colorful soft fall ground. There are machines in a spacious training section that you would often only find in gyms, complete with adjustable weights and panels describing their functions. Beautiful recreation area on a picturesque section of the Thames in an excellent position. In addition to a skateboard park and a splash play area, there are multiple excellent kid-friendly playground sections. Strongly advised!”

“Such a great little find just 15-20 mins from Heathrow T5. This playground is well looked after, and clearly locked out of hours. Toilets are clean and in good repair, there is a cafe open in summer or at weekends out of season. My almost 4yo could have whiled away hours here, unfortunately for her we only had 1!”
