Childs Hill Park

Childs Hill Park is a 10-hectare public green space in north London with facilities for both sport and recreation. It features tennis courts, a bowls club, multiple playgrounds, and an outdoor fitness area for visitors to use.

The land became a public park in 1891 when the Ecclesiastical Commissioners donated it to the Hendon Local Board as the neighborhood was developing. This gift allowed the creation of a green space for the growing population in the area.

The park serves as a gathering place where families from the neighborhood spend time together and people of all ages enjoy the outdoor spaces. The regularly used courts and play areas reflect how the community uses this land as part of their daily routine.

The park can be accessed from three different entrances on Nant Road, Hodford Road, and Granville Road, with Golders Green tube station nearby. Check what facilities are open during your visit, as availability may vary throughout the year.

Clitterhouse Brook, a tributary of the River Brent, runs along the southern edge of the park through a visible concrete pipe system. This unusual feature shows how London's waterways are often contained within urban areas.
