Golders Hill Park

Golders Hill Park

Golders Hill Park is a formal park in Golders Green, London. It is managed by the City of London Corporation as part of the parkland and commons in and near Hampstead Heath. Unlike the rest of the Heath, Golders Hill Park is closed at night.

It adjoins the West Heath part of Hampstead Heath and is on the site formerly occupied by a large house which was bombed during World War II. Its main characteristic is an expanse of grass, but it also has a formal flower garden next to a duck pond with a small humpback bridge, a separate water garden, which leads onto a larger pond with both black and white swans, a separate area for deer, near to a recently-renovated small zoo. There are also tennis courts and a putting green. An Italian restaurant with a popular terrace, commanding a fine view across the park, stands at the top of the park on part of the site of the original house; it is open all year round and in summer serves home made ice cream.

During the summer, children's activities are organised and through June and July there is live music on the bandstand on Sunday afternoons.

The zoo has Alpacas, Maras, Red-legged Seriemas and White-naped Cranes.
