Dukes Meadows, Public riverside park in Chiswick, England.
Dukes Meadows stretches along the River Thames with open grasslands, sports fields, and walking trails across expansive green areas. The park provides children's play areas, community gardens, and a waterside promenade connected to the Thames Path network with parking available.
The Chiswick Urban District bought this land from the Duke of Devonshire in 1923, converting former farmland into a public recreation space. This transformation created a green retreat for the developing neighborhood.
The weekly Chiswick Farmers Market held in the courtyard of the former Grove Park Farmhouse brings local producers and community members together every Sunday.
The park is easily accessible by public transport and features wide paths suitable for different activities and abilities. Visitors should expect muddy conditions during wetter months and wear appropriate footwear.
A pedestrian footbridge opened in 2023 connects both sides of the railway and strengthens links to the broader Thames Path network. This new structure has opened previously hard-to-reach areas for walkers.
