If you live in the Ealing Area then this park should be in your must-visit list.
It's tranquil and vast with so much greenery. They have an amazing playground in the middle of the field and 3 hills you can climb up to see a beautiful view of the city. Just be careful going down as the steps are a bit slippery.They have man-made fishing lake where you can do fishing, it's "cathc-release fishing here so it's more on fun fishing.
We came here to do a day fishing with our kids, which is operated by "Get hooked fishing". It's a 12£/HR session,they provide you with all the equipment and a personal guide. For adults you need to get a fishing rod license which cost 6£ for 1day. I'm so grateful for the men assisting us that day, we were 30 minutes late during our session but they never stopped until all of our boys actually experienced catching a fish. My boys are ecstatic!! We will definitely go back!!
They also have picnic tables by the cafe.

We arrived fairly early as I’d heard that parking can be an issue. However just after 9.30am we had our choice of spaces. What a lovely place this is. Two play areas. The one for younger children near one car park then a very short walk to the larger wooden frame. Slightly difficult for 3yo to navigate certain parts, but it is designed for older children so that is understandable. We climbed two of the four mounds, had ice cream, walked around the well stocked ponds and had lunch at the little cafe. Three hours filled in easily! We may have stayed longer too if it hadn’t been 28 degrees!! Well worth a visit.

I mean if you can read the signs not to picnic on the platforms by the lake and if you go with the aim to have a nice time, this place is a sweet visit. There is a park for the kids, the hills they can run up and down on and there is one that has a path that twirls round that you can walk on to get to the top.. There is also clear paths around the park so buggies etc would be easy to get around. when I went there were kids mud sliding down the hills so if it rains, bring some rough clothes lol!
Just an easy and nice thing to do. I went as a little date and it was really nice to just walk around and chat rubbish if thats what you're into!

The location is fantastic but the council seems to not care about this place at all. Car parking is limited so you will end up parking on the street. Toilets were a big put off - lights not working, uncleaned toilets, no toilet paper, out of soap. Council needs to invest more in the upkeep of this beautiful location. They could also invest in a tower viewer (paid) to enjoy the view of the beautiful city landmarks.

The Hills as we call them are literally are a 10 minute walk for me.
Nice to go chill out when it’s hot if you can find a space to sit.
Think there could be more in there for kids to do
My criticism is that the cafe need to change their oil when they are cooking the smell coming from the cafe is awful, smell greasy.

Visited to take part in parkrun (every Saturday at 0900). Nice park, quite despite being very close to the A40 to the north.
Cafe in the park too.
Fishing lakes if that's your thing, plus a shop nearby selling licences and gear.
Very flat so easy to walk and run around.
Popular with dog walkers.

Nice and relaxing enjoyed a picnic. Can be annoying when some old English man kept coming upto us.telling us to move if a fisherman came to fish. It also happened to my other daughter when she was bike riding with her friends. They both noticed that he did not go and speak to any other people in the park.

I absolutely love this place, it has always held a dear place in my heart because it’s where my (now) husband and I would talk about our future, getting married, having kids. We love coming here after having lunch in Boxpark, Wembley - it’s like our wholesome tradition now. The views are wonderful and I just love trying scoping out the views around London, this is a lovely area to have a chilled, low key day out with your partner, friends or a day out with the family.
I have always loved this park for so many reasons, mainly because of how in our early years of dating we would talk about our plans for the future and we would always have such a lovely, wholesome day out.
However the main reason I love this place even more is because it’s also where my husband proposed, all our conversations came full circle - so now, it forever has a very special place in my heart ❤️

Great scenery, large pack and the hills offer an amazing view of Central London. There's also a big children's playground, cafe, and public toilets. Great for a run or pictnic.

Northala Fields is a great place for a little morning or afternoon stroll. Even though parking can be a nightmare in the area, once there and you climb to the top of the mound, the views are great. Nice little workout too. The water was so calm and peaceful as well. This place has a lot of offer and explore. Definitely worth a visit.

Does any one know if the toilets are open at the moment with everything going on? TIA
Is it allowed to have a small celebration there (Birthday Party), or do we need to ask permit?

Hi this place is used for activity generally walking running and ideal for family friends and children
The area is vastly large with numerous sporty events which are held throughout the year
I guess if you want to have a birthday party picnic etc wouldn’t harm, best to check with Ealing Council.

Do you need a licence to fish and if so where can you get one

There are signs listing prices for fishing per day. I think there is a centre by the café (maybe inside) where you pay. It's right beside the lakes.

Yes, you need the permit to fishing and you may get it from Ealing council or straight in the park fishing office.
