This is a big country park with quite a bit to do for younger children. As you can imagine there…read moreis lots of space to run about in, a few different play parks, a nice long walk around the lake and different nature trails signposted to keep the kids interested. There is also a ginat jumping pillow but unfortunately they don't let adults have a go! There is a good amount of picnic tables and places to sit, so definitely take a picnic and make a day of it. You'll want to stay and get your moneys worth after the price you've paid to get in. There are also a number of events that take place in the park, check their website before your visit to check if anything fun is on. There are toilets that are kept clean with good access for young kids (steps to stand on, lower sinks and hand driers) and a large shop selling all kinds of stuff, as there is a campsite within the park too. At £10 for adults and £8 for kids ages 3-10 (under 3yrs are free) during the peak summer months, it can add up to an expensive day out and when the park is full of other things that cost a bit here and there it can all add up e.g. the little train costs £1 per person to ride.

It is also the ideal place to go for a summer picnic, a spot of deer watching and some quality time with your ipod. The woodland gardens are a hidden treat, the sort of place that im sure fairies MUST reside in.. It is truly magical and breath-taking. Oh Bushy Park, i love you.

Bushy Park is my local, so I know it well. In the warmer months I grab my bike and tool around the…read morepath that links around it. Listening to my i-pod, passing deer grazing, watching people whose activities range from the idle lying in the grass, to the Kenyans running team who live near by and train here for marathons; you can't get much better then this. As parks go, it is big, but doesn't seem overwhelming. I can cycle around it in just over an hour. One of my favourite things to do is visit the almost secret woodland gardens within the park, which are towards the Hampton entrance. The Willow Plantation and Waterhouse Woodland gardens are particularly lovely, with little ponds and streams. Note that you can't bring dogs into these gardens. The rest of the park is a fantastic place for dogs though. It is also my dog's favourite park by the way. Do remember to keep them away from the deer - the autumn months are when the stags start fighting, and you really don't want you or your dog to be walking near them. There are plenty of sports sections within the park as well. There are two cricket grounds, on either side of the park, and a couple of areas that are designated for footie or rugby. There is a great kids section as well, this is where the only toilets in the park are. I wish there were more here!

Ruislip Woods backs onto Ruislip Lido. This is a popular place for dog walkers, joggers and…read morecyclists. I have found it best to park the car in Broadwood Avenue and enter the woods through the gates there. The whole area is quite busy and a number of dogs are allowed to wander about without a lead. This is a natural wood and quite ancient, I believe. There is plenty of wild life to see if you walk quietly and a good variety of trees and plants. It's quite an easy walk to the lido through the woods but it's not suitable for wheelchairs or anyone that's unsteady on their feet. Take plenty of insect repellent.

The changing areas are poor standard and cold. Cubicles are small and there are insufficient family changing rooms. Lockers are provided. There's a hairdryer bank in the stairwell.
