Park Facilities
Pros:
"Lovely park with lots to offer."
"Morden Hall Park is a great open space with winding streams and river with lots to see a rose garden."
"This is a wonderful place for the whole family. It has a cafe and the all important loos."
"Beautiful, old buildings and the stream that runs through it is cooling and soothing."
"The park is well kept and clean, good parking locations."
"A great public place for a walk or just to hung out with friends and family."
"It's a hidden gem."
Cons:
"The garden centre is ok but reeks of scented candles which is a bit much."
"Slightly let down by the very slow pace of the main cafe."
"The park itself is not very big although it has some nice features particularly for families."
"The garden centre is pretty normal, and parking is limited, but there is a tram stop and plenty of parking around the park."
"Gone downhill since a few years ago, but it still has a pleasant atmosphere."
"The cafe always leaves a little something to be desired - overpriced, understaffed and limited options."
"Could do with some better sign posting."
Café and Food
Pros:
"A great little café with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor. A good selection of food, and dog ice-cream too!"
"Good cafeteria, plenty of seating."
"Food was great in the cafe."
"They café gave a lovely lunch spot to sit and talk after your walk."
"Also there is a garden centre and an aquatics fish shop in the grounds for additional interest."
"Fab national trust cafe, ice-cream top notch."
"Excellent cafe where the cakes are always good value for money."
Cons:
"A lovely cafe with a hit and miss soup of the day - the apple and parsnip one was lovely the celeriac was not."
"Just wish the toilets were regularly cleaned and maintained and the cafe area floor was regularly swept and tables cleared."
"Don't go to the cafe, somehow their ludicrously expensive sausage rolls are wet, not moist, when you bite into them."
"The cafe needs more sandwich choices as the cheese and onion marmalade sandwich on white bread looks innocuous but tastes like a heart attack on a plate."
"Café ran out of 3 dishes so not much choice."
"Don't bother with the cafes! Went into both around 11:30 and the menus were aspirational rather than real."
"Bring your own lunch as the café prices extortionate! £4.65 for a slice of cake."
Nature and Wildlife
Pros:
"Beautiful natural parklands with a meandering stream."
"The water is so clear that you can see the fish in some of the streams and ponds."
"Beautiful & well tended grounds, not too manicured, left to be just wild enough."
"A unique huge park with a beautiful natural playground for kids."
"The river has improved a lot, not crystal clear but you can see fishes, lots of birds and wildlife."
"Beautiful park, lots of birds as part is a wetland with a wooden walkway and places where to do a little birdspotting."
"Beautiful setting and bustling with wildlife."
Cons:
"Unfortunately the wetland is getting overgrown and lacks water."
"The little aquarium was nice to walk round, some stunning fish to see, although could do with the fish having more space."
"Lots of tanks very over full and not giving the fish a good quality of life."
"Can be overgrown sometimes."
"No access to the house, very little to see."
"Quite a few dogs which I didn't like around my baby."
"Let down by inconsiderate dog walkers letting their dogs roam about and rush at people."
Accessibility and Transport
Pros:
"Parking is free for 1.5 hours. To get the free parking ticket press the green button for 3 seconds and it will print out a free ticket for you."
"Although owned by the National Trust, it does not charge an entry fee to enter the grounds and garden."
"Parking is tight but they have opened an overflow car park which more than doubles available parking spaces."
"Readily accessible from Wimbledon by bus or tram and from central London via Northern Line."
"Good transport links with the tram, tube and buses right next to it on all sides."
"There’s a tram stop just outside the park and a bus stop (5 min walk)."
"Located very close to Morden tube, Phipps Bridge tram and served by lots of local buses so is easily accessible."
Cons:
"The car park was full so get there early to avoid disappointment."
"Parking is limited, but there is a tram stop and plenty of parking around the park."
"The only downside is the parking area, quite tight."
"The car Parking is not that big (proportionate to the size of the park)."
"Parking is always available with overflow car park however it is paid."
"They also have a parking, but it gets full very quickly, especially on the weekends."
"The park isn’t 100% secure, there is an exit to the tram line and out to the streets."
