Molly (my dog) and I absolutely find this park an utter joy to visit! It's always clean and there's loads to do for everyone. Including a small hiking trail, tennis courts, and a playground.

A great park, huge green space, paved paths all the way round (ideal for bike rides/roller skating/buggies). There are basketball courts, free tennis courts, an enclosed playground with zip wire and a permanent paddling pool (only has water during kids summer holidays apparently).
There is a softplay/cafe in the pavillion, but this costs money.
No public toilets (there are some, but locked on a Saturday? So I presume never open?).
Small carpark. Off road parking near-by. Dog friendly park.
There is a crazy golf course. But again, not open on a Saturday.
The extra bonus of this park (that my daughter loves) is there is a public footpath right at the back that goes through horse fields. You can stroke them and watch them to your hearts content!
Also, if you walk past the horses, turn left at the end, take your first right and follow the path up through the housing estate (Hamptons) there is a wetlands area with ducks, loads of fish (who LOVE bread) and a swan couple (who have 2 signets right now). Easy to navigate with a buggy/scooters/bikes as all paved or decked with wood.

This is a pleasant large open area with tennis and basketball courts and a playground, although the playgroup is closed due to the Covid lockdown. There is a small stone circle and a woodland walk along one side of the park. It has a small car park for those who need it, but is within walking distance of local areas including, the Hamptons area of Worcester Park and is close to Motspur Park station and the K5 bus service.

Did you attend the Wellness Fair at Sir Joseph Hood today? If not, you certainly missed out on a lovely event. There were quite a few stalls and the live entertainment was fabulous. Lots of yoga, and dancing with JV Dance Fitness bringing the event alive with his fantastic dance moves. Great entertainment had by all. If you haven't been down to Sir Joseph Hood, it's a 2 hectare park, with a lovely play area with a kiddies pool and picnic area. There is also a small Putt Putt course (Mini Golf) and a soft play area. Dogs are welcome, so you don't have to leave your best friend at home.

Great outdoor space with many facilities on offer. My areas of interest are the tennis courts and jungle gym, however there is a nursery, children’s play area with pool and swings & basketball court. Check it out!

Nice park, I go for a daily walk with my dog 🐶 and running 🏃‍♀️… I would suggest to clean and “support” the part close to the river as has a good potential to become a very amazing part of the park.
The nearest of horses is a plus as they have now opened for lessons.
Very busy during the weekend due to football clubs using the place for training.
There is a very nice and safe playground for kids, table tennis 🏓 and tennis 🎾 free to use!!
