Traveler reviews
Rose Gillingham
★★★★★2 months agoSuch a beautiful park. There are free tennis courts that you have to book through LTA’s website or app. You do have to bring your own equipment, too. Such a gorgeous park with plenty of good walks. They also conduct a 5km park run every Saturday, which is free for anyone to turn up.
