👍 A nice little play area for children in the close. Adjacent to the Play Area, a nice little Outdoor Gym makes it an extra attraction for adults while children playing in the Play Area.

👍 Haven't been for a while and found new play area in the playground and was nice. Water play was small but working, my child had a great time in the playground! There is public toilets and cafe as well.

GRASSify Artificial Grass London

Landscaper

😠 Be very careful using this company as their warrantee isn’t worth diddly squat. Our job all looked fine after they left but we have had several problems since and they simply are not interested in correcting them. They made us feel very comfortable and at ease if any problems arise they will be back...

Pinner Memorial Park Childrens' Playground

Playground

👍 Lovely playground with decent variety. The highlight for my family was definitely the tyre swing (video included). Because this park is popular, there is lots of foot traffic on all sides, which may detract from the experience for some. There were some obnoxious characters pestering people (and moth...

Pinner Village Gardens

Park

👍👍 Lovely park for all ages! Great size with plenty of levelled tarmac paths for a short stroll, great for pushchairs and young toddlers learning to cycle. Never too crowded but busy enough. Sunday Park Run is a great free event for kids.

Playground

👍 Playground with lots of space around it. Great sand pit area. During winter months the sand area, which is suitable for all ages is closed normally. The climbing castle with the slides is more for ages 2.5 and up (or for toddlers who can confidently walk). Around the sand area there is a climbing tr...

Mile End Children’s Park and Pavilion

Playground

😠 Mary at the childrens centre is RACIST and targets vulnerable mothers. You should be ashamed of yourself. LBTH needs to safeguard the childrens centre better. A white woman who arrived with a school aged child who admitted to not being the mother of the child and not from the borough was welcomed wi...

Balaclava Park

Playground

👍 Great little playground for children. Can be busy at times as offers equipment for all ages. Pity the cafe in the middle of the park is often closed. It would definitely benefit from a good coffee shop. There are tennis courts to one side as well as many local footballs groups/personal trainer class...

Gallion's Park - Playground & Adventure Area
