    This is a very nice local park. Very clean, spacious and pretty. Has lots of benches, which is great for enjoying the scenery and sunbathe when the weather is nice. It is quiet and peaceful, a perfect local quick getaway to nature.

    Lovely park not far from Wimbledon Station and parking is free before 2pm on a weekend (I think that was the timing). I went during autumn which was nice in itself with the colours, I'm sure spring/summer would be great as the flower beds look like they are well maintained.

    I often sit and have lunch in this picturesque Victorian park. Once was a farm so hence why the flowers are so lush.

    Very up-market park. Even has a cafe. It is well maintained and I'm glad it's still a great local amenity.

    My favourite park! Peaceful, with plenty of families! Had my first date with my now husband here, and I bring our baby here to run around! Great clean colourful park to come to in Wimbledon.

    Great park in walking distance from The Broadway in Wimbledon. The park has great energy and lots of seating, it can get busy but when the flowers are in bloom it's worth it.

    Nice pathways to walk around, good amount of benches and lovely grass area to sit down. Drinking water fountain in the center of the park needs some love and maintenance for sure.

  • 5/5 George S. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely park, quite small but beautifully manicured and cared for. Dogs on leads, which is annoying, but apart from that it's a very lovely, relaxing and pretty park!

    Beautiful gardens, well maintained. And nice history behind it (as detailed on the information board on the north west corner of the park.) My gripe is that dogs have to be on leads. I'm sure there are lots of very sensible well meaning middle class ladies who have passionate arguments for why dogs should be on leads (by the way, the threat of a £1000 fine is unenforceable by law) - but it's a churlish example of nimby middle class snobbery in a hugely wealthy area in a park that has a committee governing it. Dogs should be free to galavant. The beautiful landscaped areas are already protected by fences, and parents are more than capable of navigating a park with dogs off leads (as is the case with almost every other park in London). So, for that reason, I give this park a 3 out of 5.

    Our local park, kept in beautiful condition by the friends of South Park Garden. It’s a beautiful getaway from the hustle and bustle of Wimbledon station. We love it. Please be respectful and bin your rubbish.

  • 5/5 Nick O. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this park. Ice cream van at the Trinity Road entrance on a sunny weekend day. Lots of activity and relaxation going on in the park. Loads of different types of trees for the dendrophiles out there. In the summer also there’s a mystery marking that appears in the grass towards the South Park Road end. When I see it again I’ll add it to my pictures. All this activity and not a Simpson in sight 😊

    It's a beautiful garden with gorgeous flowers and very well kept. Also bonus points for cafe bliss in the park too. The only thing I would say is, it doesn't have a playground so if you have kids (especially young ones) bring entertainment 😉 Toddlers on scooters can have a blast as it's perfect for scooting around. Love it.

    A very lovely clean colorful park. Nice ti meet up, picnics or for solo time. It has a cafe and toilets within. Love it

  • 4/5 Alun H. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice Victorian era park with labyrinthine paths, lots of lovely flowers. Public toilets and a coffee shop. Very yummy mummy! The best of parks, slightly hidden away, but actually very close to centre of Wimbledon town.

  • 5/5 Jon P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little park close to centre of Wimbledon. Has one excellent climbing tree

  • 4/5 Sandra B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice gardens that are really well maintained. It's nice to see parents and children having fun and using the park as intended. It's a lovely oasis of calm off the somewhat busy Trinity Road. Worth the time.
