Traveler reviews
MrSiwat
★★★★★Edited 2 years agoBeen walking through Kensington Meadows for many years, as it is a peaceful way from Larkhall to the city. A great area for the kids to play and dogs to run around in. Next to the river, so a good spot for a picnic in the summer.

★★★★★2 years agoI mean its a big patch of grass. Can't really say that much more, can you? Dogs run and kids play, and it is grass so if they fall it isn't a big deal. Who's getting the email alert for this review?
