Me and Muggle (my little dog) love Barclay Park! According to the signage, this park was part of a…read moreprivate estate and Robert Barcley gave the land to Hoddesdon for the park. What a nice guy! The total area of the park is 18.3 acres and includes a walking trail, a pond, a children's play area and picnic tables. And it's beautiful! There's a gorgeous weeping willow near the pond and the footpath to the pond is lined with daffodils. There are always ducks and geese on the pond and there's a rarely a day that I don't see families feeding bread to the ducks. Barclay Park is a very popular place for dogs; we encounter many of them every time we take a trip there. There's lots of open space for dogs to run around and play and a creek for them to swim in.

Mile End Park might be London's most underrated park. Completely unbeknownst to tourists who…read moremainly beeline to West End parks, this East London park is a slender 79-acre strip of fabulous modern design, gardens, lakes, and culture/leisure centres along the beautiful Regent's Canal. It's a low-key local gem just across the street from the more popular, sprawling Victoria Park. In my Top 5 Parks along with Regent's and Hampstead Heath

I really love Mile End Park on a quiet day (when the weather is rubbish, hah :)) - there's plenty…read moreof space and I keep discovering new bits I haven't ventured to yet. There is the 'Eco Pavilion' which overlooks a few ponds. Several areas of trees/wildflowers. Close proximity and easy access to Regent's Canal, where one can take a nice walk down to Victoria Park or the Hertford Union Canal. If you're thirsty there's a cafe, and if you fancy a beer the Palm Tree pub is close by. The couple of downsides are that 1) it's never closed and there are sometimes some street drinkers/groups of drunk people inhabiting certain areas and 2) It's next to two very busy roads.

I went on a Sunday afternoon with my friend and his most adorable dog for a walk through Campbell…read morePark. It's a massive dog friendly park (any areas that aren't are very clearly marked) and has a lot of interesting aspects to explore. This isn't just your normal park as it also has a memorial and various art sculptures in the park plus we passed a small playground at one point all keeping for quite the interesting walk. My friend was telling me they used to have sheep grazing! I'm not sure if it was just the time of year I went or if they have been permanently removed, but no sheep were to be had in March. It's big on festivals in the summer apparently with a nice open air pavilion type theater outdoor area.

I have to say my family goes every year and we really enjoy ourselves. Yes the ground can get…read moreincredibly muddy and yes the vendor's are a bit expensive - we get over that by taking our own hot chocolate and chairs to sit down on. The atmosphere is fantastic, the kids love all the sounds, excitement and colours and that's even before the fire works start. It was a lovely display this year although it can get a bit smokey! And best of all - there's no entrance fee!

Wide open spaces…read more.. Quite a luxury for the dog-loving set. Well, quite a luxury for the dogs I suppose. A rich, luscious, well-tended plot of land smack dab in the middle of London, beckoning all the dogs to play. It's not fancy but there are a few benches and garbage cans, heavy gates and enough room for your pooch to burn off the excess energy and pretend they don't live in a small space all day long. Overall, thumbs up. If you have a dog and live close (or even a longer walk away) this spot is surely worth putting on to your route.

My husband & our dog visited the park this week and did enjoy walking the park. While park is quite…read moresmall and is divided by a road, this place is adequate for getting dogs out for a good run.

This park is a bit of a jack of all trades in the fact that so much is there for such a variety of…read morepeople. As, it isn't that well known it is only really busy in the best of summer days which in my opinion lets it down a bit. The playground area is one of the best around with tonnes of things to keep the kids busy for atleast a couple of hours. The park itself is kept well and surrounded by trees which encloses it slightly. This place is perfect if you want to get out of the office and have a bit of lunch and get into the sunshine which I have done on numerous occasions in the past. The tennis courts offer those who can't stay still, a chance to burn off all that energy.

Blaker's Park is a smaller local park wedged between Preston Drove on the south end and Stanford…read moreAvenue at the north end. It is much more compact park than Preston Park down the road and works perfectly for families and young kids. The whole park is on a slope which makes it a little more difficult for portable barbecues but great for rolling down the hill! As you walk down the grassy slope from Stanford Avenue you reach a lovely red brick clock tower and a small cafe stand (great coffee, GREAT cakes!) and two tennis courts in excellent condition (free before 10am). Next to the tennis courts is a small playground for young kids with a sandpit, slide and various climbing frames- as well as some picnic tables for parents. Grab a coffee and watch your kids burn off their energy!
