Parks and nature

Riverside meadows, a small zoo, the canal and plenty of quiet green space.

Other parks and open spaces

All from Ealing Council's list of other parks in Hanwell, which says that, except where stated, these are open all the time.

Boles Meadow: Managed for nature conservation, below St Mary's Church. Entrance on Church Road, by the footpath next to the church.
Brent Meadow: A large hay meadow beside the River Brent, extending from Brent Lodge Park. Entrance on Uxbridge Road.
Conolly Dell: A small rest garden, once part of the grounds of Dr John Conolly of the Hanwell asylum (see St Bernard's). Locked overnight.
Cuckoo Park: Horseshoe-shaped, around Hanwell Community Centre. Playgrounds, an activity trail and outdoor gym equipment. A small statue of Charlie Chaplin recalls his time at the school that is now the community centre. It is a registered Village Green.
FitzHerbert Walk: A riverside woodland path from Brent Meadow to the canal towpath at the Hanwell flight, with picnic tables.
Hanwell Meadows: A chain of canal-side meadows, including Blackberry Corner, Jubilee Meadow, Trumpers Field and St Margaret's. Entrances on Trumpers Way, off Boston Road, and from the towpath.
King George V Playing Field: Formerly Poor's Piece, opened as a recreation ground on 22 May 1951. A nature-themed play area. Entrances on Lower Boston Manor Road, St Mark's Road and Bostonthorpe Road. (Ealing Council)

Warren Farm Nature Reserve, south of the canal, has its own website. All these spaces are on the map.
