Small wooded park in Norbury where tame squirrels eat from your hand. Pram-friendly paths, benches, and volunteer-maintained grounds. No playground equipment - this is a nature walk destination.

โœ“ Hidden gemโœ“ Hand-feeding squirrelsโœ“ Nature walkโœ“ Volunteer maintainedโœ“ Quiet retreat

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children who find wildlife more compelling than climbing frames. Toddlers and primary-age kids who enjoy animal encounters will love the squirrel feeding. Pair it with a picnic on the benches for a relaxed outing. Not worth the trip if your children need structured play equipment.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กBring nuts or seeds to hand-feed the tame squirrels
โฐVolunteer park group is present Sunday mornings for a guided experience
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธPack your own snacks and drinks - no cafe on site
๐Ÿš—Keep visits short as the park is small - works well combined with a local walk

โ€œNice small wooded park. Full of tame squirrels who you can feed by hand. I found it to be clean as we saw volunteers litter picking on a Sunday.โ€

โ€œAbout as small and charming as you'd expect from a small park. The abundance of public drinking and the outdated benches are why I can't give it 5 stars. Still, it's a fun place to walk your dog.โ€

โ€œThis is absolutely one of the hidden gems in the concrete jungle. Surrounded by houses and very busy main street but when you enter inside it's isolated from any city noises. Few benches and some seating areas allows you to cool down and relax in this small green spot.โ€

Overview

Norbury Hall Park sits tucked behind a busy main road, offering genuine quiet once inside. Tame squirrels approach visitors directly and can be hand-fed. Bird watching is a draw too, with parrots spotted among common species. Volunteer park group maintains the grounds on Sunday mornings. Paths are pram-friendly. No swings, slides, or climbing frames on site.
