1 / 3Tamworth Recreation Ground
📍 Mitcham, Greater London
Free outdoor recreation ground in Mitcham with traditional playground equipment, a splash pad, and tennis courts. Spacious grounds with trail access and free parking. No café on site.
Really nice park. One side has swings and stuff and the other side has a splash pad (which is finally open) and there are tennis courts too. Very happy kids. The only thing missing is a cafe but overall it’s great!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with young children wanting free, varied outdoor play combining traditional equipment and water play in one visit. The splash pad is the standout draw for warm days. Bring wellies or spare shoes after rain as the drainage issues are persistent, and pack food and drinks as there are no café facilities on site.

“Great playground with trail around the rented gardens. Close to the road so there is a lot of traffic. The tennis courts are looking a little worse for wear, I've noticed lately that the nets are in very poor condition. Playground is always the highlight for us, it has slides and climbing frames, swings and the rest of the works you usually find in SW London playgrounds. There is a water play area but unfortunately it's closed for the covid 19 (as of 16/08/20) but hope to see it re-open next year.”
