1 / 2Boston Manor Park
📍 Brentford, Greater London
Spacious historic park in Brentford featuring a lake with swans, woodland nature trail, canal-side walks, basketball and tennis courts, play areas, and a café. Free parking on site.
🦢 Boston Manor Park is a wonderful, classic park featuring a nice lake, home to swans and numerous other birds. It is beautifully situated on the bank of a picturesque canal. The park offers a truly romantic feel, thanks to its glorious old trees and well-maintained picnic areas. Visitors can also enjoy the amenities provided by the couple of pleasant cafés and the historic Boston House. Although it is a bit of a distance from my home, my wife and I still enjoy visiting time and time again.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a full day out combining nature, sport, and open space without spending anything on entry. The lake walk suits toddlers in prams; the nature trail engages primary-school-age children; the sports courts keep older kids active. Cyclists get direct access to the canal towpath.

“An amazing day out, walking the trail and having fun in the playground. The trail is well signed and we enjoyed some crunchy conference pears during our walk. There’s a beautiful lake to sit and enjoy the tranquil waters and the amazing Cedar tree in the middle of the grounds. Parking is available and park is close to train and bus routes.”
