Golders Hill Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Golders Hill Park is a formal park in Golders Green, London. It is managed by the Corporation of London and is technically part of Hampstead Heath. Unlike the rest of the Heath, Golders Hill Park is closed at night.

It adjoins the West Heath part of Hampstead Heath and is on the site formerly occupied by a large house which was bombed during World War II. Its main characteristic is an expanse of grass, but it also has a formal flower garden next to a duck pond with a small humpback bridge, a separate water garden, which which leads onto a larger pond with both black and white swans, a separate area for deer, near to a recently-renovated small zoo. There are also tennis courts and a putting green. An Italian restaurant is open during the main season and serves home made ice cream.

During the summer, children's activities are organised and there is often live music on the bandstand on Sunday.

The zoo has Alpacas, Maras, Red Legged Seriemas and White Naped Cranes.
