Canons Park
Green Flag Park Winner

Canons Park is nestled between the borders of Edgware and Stanmore; it has a fascinating history dating back hundreds of years. Canons Park offers wide open spaces for walking, sports and picnicking, with shady woodland walks offering wonderful displays of spring bluebells and wild garlic (from late April to early May). It has a family friendly area with an adventure playground, which was reopened in ……. has just opened again after an exciting upgrade with new toddlers’ equipment, supersized climbing boulder, table tennis tables and basketball hoop nearby, and outdoor exercise gym near the café.

The park has a flat terrain and a continuous pathway around its perimeter, enabling wheelchair users, walkers, joggers, and families with pushchairs to explore the woodland and open spaces without having to encounter steps or steep hills.

We are so proud of our café – Liam’s in the Park at the Good Friends Café – which has a five star rating by Harrow Council.  Don’t forget to stop by for top quality coffee, wonderful home-made patisserie, hot and cold drinks including fabulous smoothies, and ices, and much more.

There’s also lots of seating outdoors – including a weatherproof pop-up dome – and always a friendly welcome.

There are a number of ways in which you can support the work of the Friends, who use their funds to:

• purchase and maintain tools and equipment for our gardening group

• buy plants, bulbs and shrubs for the Memorial Garden

• stage annual events such as our Kids’ Fun Fair Day in early August

• create and print leaflets about the history, facilities and trees in Canons Park
