    Canons Park Station is a hidden gem in London, providing convenient access to the city via the Jubilee Line. The station is clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff on hand to assist passengers. Its proximity to the picturesque Canons Park adds to the charm, making it a great stop for both commuters and leisure-seekers.

    A quiet but lovely park. Lots of open space to play. A fantastic fenced in playground with challenging equipment for all ages. Lots of history to absorb. A tiny cafe hut for some refreshments too. Bonus!

    Great atmosphere, relatively safe (ie loads of mums about!). Well kept playground, small cafe (check times, also a bit of a walk from the kids playground), outdoor gym if you feel the need to flex your muscles. Added bonus there are two 'trails' to explore, one opposite the above cafe (I have not been) and one at the other exit (good signage and buggy friendly). Nearest tube station is Canons park jubilee line

    I walk here every day. The park is well maintained, with lots of nooks and crannies that the dogs like and you always bump into lovely people. It has a big children’s playground too, a cafe in summer and a secluded garden. This park is true hidden gem. As a photographer I have used the park as a backdrop on several occasions.

    A gem of a secret garden in North London, Canons Park. Really large green spaces, with a few historic sites. There is an outdoor gym and kids playground. Lots of fun for families as lots to do. Secret garden is located in the center, full of peace and tranquility. Good location as its quite too. Will definitely recommend this park.

    Beautiful park for a stroll especially at this time of year with the magnolias in bloom. Never overly busy either. Always enjoy my stroll and detour to this park specially when visiting my sister in the area.

    This is one of the best parks around here. Nice little pond, good playground and cafe. So it’s good place for kids and adult to have a walk around and enjoy themselves in a nice sunny day. Been there so many times and will go again also will recommend to other to go.

    Good walk ways and birds twinkling sounds. If wet be aware of puddles at places and not easy to escape had to turn back. Table tennis, small kids play area.

    Beautiful place nice clean and tidy very well equipped and maintained very safe for children and parents. I saw three dogs πŸ• and one of them, the owner, didn't bother to keep the animal on the lead. I hope all the visitors can enjoy the place and keep it as they found. Is just a kind comment and reminder because I care for the country and nature. Very peaceful park 😌 πŸ™ ☺️ πŸŒΉπŸ’•

    Great park. Lovely hidden garden. Great play area for the kids. Bring your table tennis bats as they have an outdoor table.

    A big open space with History attached. There is a downloadable audio tour of the park, I have not tried it but sure it is interesting based on the History of this place. The kids park area has a lot going on with swings, climbing equipment, see-saw, slides, zip wire. The kids area is always very popular. The park also has equipment for keep fitters.... not my thing. The cafe serves hot drinks and some food also, eat outside only. There is a walking area through wooded areas which is very calming and relaxing. At the centre of the Park are walled gardens, this is also a great place to just go and sit and relax, chill out and listen to nothing other than birds. Worth a visit.

    A wonderfully enchanting green space with everything you would expect from a park but with the added joy of the walled garden. The park as a whole is well kept and their is a good variety of trees and plants.

    In 1997 my mum planted an Oak tree sapling for us to bury our grandmother Jean Howard's ashes beneath, as she used to often walk her dog there. In 2006 and 2008 my dad Simon Howard and grandfather Bill Howard died and we later added their ashes beneath the growing oak tree. In 2019, my dad's sister, Jo Howard passed away, the last one of their family of four. This week we added her ashes beneath the family oak tree so they can all be together again. If you see snow drops growing beneath the tree my mum origins planted those too in 1997. We are going to add more flowers and update the plaque once we have checked that is ok. I wanted to share this story here as sometimes we see little plaques and never know anymore of those people's lives. I will add photos of them all if I can. I have included a photo of the three remaining Howard children, we're in our late 20s and 30s now, two children of Simon's and one of Jo's ❀️ I would say long live the Howards but it isn't looking good πŸ˜… Also, our name Howard wasn't originally our family name. My grandfather was Willheim Hecht until he was evacuated from Austria during the Holocaust at just 8 years old, he was the only surviving member of his whole family. He changed his name to avoid persecution. So honouring his life that he carried on is very important to us all.

    Enjoyable day at canons Park. We cycled around the park, the best cycling is in the tree section on side adjacent to the church. Grass and path Was tidy and looked after.
