1 / 3Vine Road Recreation Ground
📍 London, Greater London
Compact family park in Barnes with playground equipment, a seasonal shallow paddling pool, playing field, and toilets. Free entry and parking nearby. Popular for birthday parties and local school visits.
This is a park for everyone. Very popular with families, groups of friends having picnics in the summer and kids birthdays. Great playground facilities, toilets, playing field, often used by the local schools. In between two railway lines. Often used as cut through in day time to Barnes Station. Many dog walkers through the day. In the summer the council fill up the small paddling pool, very popular. Loved by squirrels, foxes and the local community.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
An excellent local park for families with children under 13 who want a safe, clearly laid-out space where children are easy to supervise. The compact size means you can watch the playground and paddling pool simultaneously. Summer visits when the paddling pool is filled are the clear highlight.

“A nice little park that’s never too busy to lose a child. Nice area to walk the dogs. In the summer the shallow paddling pool is fun (check when this gets filled/emptied). Limited car parking but there is a road just over the railway tracks where you can park for free. The woods near by are also a great place to go for a walk.”

“Took my Som here a few months back, it has a paddling pool right next to the swings etc. can easily keep an eye on your children all in one area. Pool was closed whilst there, but was a nice size and would be great to cool down in the hot weather.”
