Pros:
"There’s benches, deck chairs, a kiosk selling drinks and food, pigeons, joggers and cyclists who can’t read the signs!"
"It's a great park when the weather is good there are deck chairs at the Ritz hotel end for a nice relax. Obviously being London these are not free £1.80 an hour each."

Cons:
"The only problem in this place is the comfort room (toilet)... Hoping for improvement! thanks!"
"Park was lovely but staff at food kiosk/ cafe as you come out of tube station, their attitudes were absolutely disgusting!! Should not be employed in a job involving customer service!!!"
"The coffee shop didn't accept my card though flippin' fuming mate."
"As it was closed to the Palace, the picnic chairs that you could sit on under the shade and catch your breath after a long walk was super expensive and was charging per hour!!"
"They hire you deck chairs but these are v expensive so bring a picnic mat if you can."
"Nobody mention there chair trap!!!!"
"The lawn chairs you get on a small rent is so helpful."
Atmosphere and Experience
Pros:
"Awesome place to chill at when days are warm and sunny."
"Sitting on the grass in Green Park is one of the greatest pleasures I will take away from this summer."
"So peaceful and quiet, it's a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature amidst the fast city round."
"It's a destination where warm smiles and genuine kindness make us feel welcomed and embraced."
"Very calming and reflective place."
"A wonderful green space which provides a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere."
"It's less touristy than Hyde Park and pretty."
Cons:
"It is very popular and busy in tourist-season, so you have to be patient."
"Difficult to not like this park but the fact that 100% of all tourists visiting London walks here is an issue."
"There is a troubling shortage of street lamps so the park is very scary after sunset."
"Only downside it attracts organised groups pretending to raise money - eg a boxing club closing down - when in fact they are aggressively begging."
"However, I was disappointed by that it seems to have been taken over by the rude and badly behaved."
"A lovely park but destroyed by litter. I was saddened & annoyed by the human race as picnic litter was scattered everywhere."
"During the coronation weekend, visiting green park wasn't a pleasant experience 👎 Hundreds of people packed like sardines."
Accessibility for Activities
Pros:

"Great place in the summer to relax and take in the sun."
"Beautiful park with space for exercising as running, walking, or having a relax from the routine with the fresh air and the lovely view of trees."
"Groups of colleagues often use the park as a place to celebrate and play group games."
"The play area isn't the greatest, but it has enough to keep kids entertained for a little while."
"Lots of space to cycle, jog or even play softball."
"A lovely open space, plenty of room for all. Deckchairs available at a small price but you can just bring a blanket or sit on the grass."
Cons:
"Sadly when I used the park as a short cut it was dark and raining."
"Of all the parks we've seen in London, Green park is perhaps the least awesome."
"In this weather the Buckingham palace side of the park regularly sees the paths flooded which means taking a longer route through than usual."
"It's a bit of a nothing park which I was surprised at tbh. No flowers just grassy areas."
"Beware these days as due to the jubilee celebration work that is on going there, you will have to walk quite a bit more to reach the Buckingham Palace sights etc."
"Strange place. It was lacking shade during the day and lighting at night."
"Whole park has gone brown due to the drought. Dead grass gets whipped up by the breeze and is unpleasant to get in your eyes or to breath in."
