"If you're looking for a breath of fresh air walking among the foliage and flower beds, or a fun day out with the kids, sat right upon the south bank of the River Thames, Battersea Park is the place to go. Loved by dog walkers, picnic goers, sport fanatics and animal lovers – this is one of our favourite green spaces in the city. Battersea Park is home to meerkats and monkeys in the Children’s Zoo, visual arts space Pump House Gallery, tree top adventure activity site ‘Go Ape!’ and mini golf putting course ‘Putt in the Park’. There’s a bandstand, peace pagoda, fountain and a lake, and for sporty types: a cricket pitch, outdoor gym, tennis courts and athletics track. If that isn’t enough to inspire a visit, there are lots of other activities held here each year – it's host to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and the annual bonfire night with mini fair and food huts. Check out their website for the latest news and events: https://batterseapark.org" - Holmes Wood

"Pick-Up Food Options: Party Store Pizza, Kapihan. Battersea Park is in our professional opinion: an absolute stunnah. It’s got the top three things you would want in a park, plenty of greenery (duh), views of the river, and some pretty great food options around. We love the benches near the fountains in the middle of the park, but another nice spot is near the Peace Pagoda. Our go-to is ordering Detroit-style pizza from Party Store Pizza, or offee and cassava cakes from Kapihan, a Filipino café and bakery down the road." - rianne shlebak

Beautiful, relaxing and "healthy" park by river Thames. So many runners which made you feel like running with them but also a bit worry to bump into them. No cycling park which brough safer feeling (but still, some stupid youngsters cycled and though was fun) Amazed to see an Oriental building in this Westernized park. Truly a comfortable and chill walk way / park inside the city.

Beautiful park. Zoo entry is £46 for the family (2+2). Public Toilets are available in park. Has lot of plants and trees from Asia, Australia, South Africa, and many other places. Has Waitrose nearby for grabbing food for a picnic at park.

A absolutely stunning park with a lovely tea and coffee place inside that is a reasonable price, a lovely statue, beautiful scenery, peaceful, a child zoo, toilets, friendly people,nice flowers, a nice big park to walk around and lots of history of how It used to be on YouTube. I also travel to these places on my own and enjoyed walk around on my day off work so there is no reason why you can't do the same and just enjoy being with nature. There is so much I could say about this park I could go on. I mean you can even hire a bike to go around if you have Id on you.

Battersea Park is one of the best being natural, laced with accessible paths, some organised gardens and beds, and beautiful lakes where wildfowl can be seen raising chicks. Well trained or led dogs are welcome. There's a subtropical garden with bananas growing and two peaceful secluded gardens. It has a lovely area with fountains that children tend to play in on hot days. The Pear Tree cafe right next to the lake has live pleasant music at weekends and good food. And two smaller cafes. I go here several times a week. There's plenty of grassy space where people play, chat, celebrate, read and in general respect others although litter in the wooded area can detract. One side runs alongside the Thames, plenty of sunlight and joggers, but everyone considerate of each other. Lovely Peace Pagoda reminding of the vital importance of keeping that. Virtually no posers, scanties or poop. Plenty of sun and shade to wander in. Zoo; although not a fan of caging creatures, it's clean, well kept, children can discover and feed animals, cafe and play area, another 2 playgrounds and ropes course for children and adults. It's evolved wonderfully so you can access play, wander in semi-wild, sit in peace, join a park run, pedalo past tolerant ducks, join the active Pear Tree scene, do yoga, celebrate or hire a bike. Probably the best space for relaxing in this area.

Summer in London can be lovely, it's the ideal to enjoy the city park. So here we go to the Battersea Park, it is a family, friendly feeling and very peaceful. The area was clean and well maintained. We spent several hours walking around and walked along the Thames as-well which was lovely in the sunshine with a cool late summer breeze.

It was a joy! Me and my family love Battersea Park so much! The English Garden had many unique flowers and the fountain was amazing! The big field had people playing a variety of sports like cricket, football and frisbees. Overall, Battersea Park was amazing. It was pet friendly, non polluted, and very unique.

We explored this wonderful park, an easy walk along the Thames Path from Battersea Power Station. The Secret Garden is a mini paradise with gorgeous water lilies. The London Peace Pagoda looked fantastic against the blue sky and children were enjoying the fountains area too.
