Nature and Scenery
Pros:
"This park is a true haven for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation."
"Peaceful and beautiful, also has some graffiti. Probably the best dog walk in the area."
"Lovely large green space in Hillingdon with a lot of water bodies, canal, rivers, aquadrome and lakes."
"Area of natural outstanding beauty, Very open spaces just on the edge of west London."
"Such a beautiful and tranquil place to go. Nature different walks. Something for everyone including children older people. Professional walkers."
"Really nice lakes, woods and walks that runs by the side of the canal."
"A large number of birds can be seen along the river including herons and kingfishers which was nice to see."
Cons:
"The M25 and Heathrow make it polluted and noisy, plus there is rubbish everywhere."
"Worst 'regional park' I've ever been to. Lack of signs, lots of metal fences and barbed wire with pylons running through."
"However, there are quite a few old boats in the canal, and a significant portion of the area is occupied by a private golf course."
"Could hear quite a bit of traffic so certainly not tranquil."
"A lot of litter really."
"The website says 'over 60 lakes'. However many of these are private fishing lakes, fenced off and available only to paying guests."
"Beware though, Maple cross sewage works is above this area and pumps into the River Colne just upstream."
Park Facilities and Amenities
Pros:
"A lovely park with a cafe and visitors centre."
"There are facilities, a children's play area and a Cafe serving mostly snacks."
"Easy parking, a river to wade in, cafe and information center, and the recently refurbed playground is great."
"The park is clean and well kept with a lovely cafe that also has picnic tables and places to sit."
"The visitor centre is open at 10.30am providing toilets, and serving hot and cold food & beverages to take out."
"Cafe and toilets for customers too."
"Small cafe & children's playground as well as a visitors centre."
Cons:
"However, they increased the parking charge which is quite expensive."
"Nb.hmm needs more lighting at the Festival after dark And the water ran out for some!!"
"Some parts of the park have been closed for maintenance."
"Service was non existent and staff were rude and unhelpful."
"No toilets at only 3pm is inexcusable."
"Toilets were filthy especially the baby change area which is in the disabled toilet."
"Found the visitor centre was closed. Could not even use the toilet as it was locked."
Accessibility and Parking
Pros:
"We found free shady parking at the side of the road."
"Dog and child friendly, plus wheelchair accessible pathways."
"Free parking (though it looked like meters have been installed but not yet operational)."
"Parking had plenty of spaces."
"There are two car parks, which have ample space but might be busy on a sunny weekend."
"I would recommend purchasing the annual car park pass which covers all three parks for only £50!"
"We felt safe whole time."
Cons:
"But, part of it has been taken by HS2, the government project that is wrecking the countryside."
"Parking spaces fill up fast. Although I did go on a Sunday. I paid for parking via the RingGo app."
"Height restrictions of 2m on the car parks is crazy."
"You have to input your reg on the machine and they have been ticketing people parking on the empty verges when the carpark is full."
"Parking maybe a little bit limited."
"£3.70 is a bit pricey for a three hour stay."
"The parking is a total total rip-off if you want to stay all day expect to pay around £8 I mean is just a park definitely not coming back."
Recreational Activities
Pros:
"Best choice for kids or dog friendly trails."
"Very widespread and an amazing place to bring the kids to paddle all day and play on the large fields."
"Great walk from rickmansworth to Uxbridge and back."
"Went for Weyfest festival.....one of best Intimate music festivals have ever been too!"
"What a great place! We didn’t have a booking to see Santa but the staff were really accommodating and managed to fit us in!"
"We absolutely love walking at Harmondsworth Moor. Mixture of environments from walking round the lake to the wildly natural farm fields, our dog loves it here too. Lots of free parking."
"Lovely walks by canal side or through woods."
Cons:
"The Nature Trails had no clear markings or visible signpost."
"Very constrained and fenced experience as country parks go. No long country strolls without coming across a barrier, a golf course, a cafe it’s impossible to walk round except one way."
"Limited access continues due to HS2 related construction work."
"Fell over and broke my elbow. About to have surgery. Over 65s beware. You are not as bouncy as you used to be."
"Riverside cafe good and well priced, but not enough signage to show the trails nor clear signage on the trails."
"Wanted a lovely woodland and heathland walk with my dog, it does have this potential but has sadly been commercialised the parking cost £3.70 !!!"
"OK, not brilliant. Park/picnic area not the best. Scenic route around the lake not very long and definitely not very scenic."
