Gunnersbury Park, Grade II listed park and museum in west London, England
The 72-hectare parkland contains formal gardens, sports facilities, lakes, and multiple recreational areas across its grounds connected by paved paths.
Princess Amelia lived on the estate during the 18th century before the Rothschild family took ownership. The local authority purchased the grounds in 1926 and opened them to the public as a shared green space.
The Gunnersbury Park museum displays local heritage collections within its preserved mansion, presenting exhibits about the region's development through different periods.
Tennis, football and a gym are located in the northern part of the park and run by a private operator. Wide paths make it easy to walk or run between different areas of the grounds.
Kunekune pigs with mottled coats maintain the lawns and come from a nearby agricultural college. The animals are part of a program showing visitors how livestock can help manage parkland.
